How I did it: One day around 3 or 4pm I wanted to go for a drive at the end of May. I started heading downstate and thought "Hm, I have $300 on me, nothing to do for the next couple days, and it will be my birthday in a week or so... let's see where I end up." I drove about 3 hours or so and ended up calling a friend from grade school I hadn't seen since junior high/high school, asked what she was up to, and if she was up to a visit. I ended up driving from that 3-4pm central time to 4-5am eastern time and ended up down in Eastern Tennessee.
