Quick trip

A trio of Utahns completed a record-breaking roadtrip through 48 states on May 8 when the beleaguered passengers pulled into the Four Corners area at the intersection of Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona after a 7,000-mile roadtrip completed in under five days. Inspired by stories of great American roadtrips and also by the official Guinness World Records time of five days, seven hours, and 15 minutes, Josh Keeler, Adam Gatherum, and Joey Stocking each took six-hour shifts behind the wheel of their Toyota Scion xB to drive through all contiguous 48 states in just four days, six hours, and 43 minutes. Gasoline alone cost the group over $1,000. Along the way, there wasn't much time for getting to know the states: The trio's longest stop lasted just 15 minutes.
