I just spent 61 days driving a complete circle around the United

MB-2A flight computer to figure ETAs for each day's destinations.
That is very cool! I did a complete 48 state trip in April of 2000. I did it in 24 days, driving 11,500 miles. I used a Garmin GPS but I will have to do it again, take a bit longer, and do artificial horizon sights with one of my sextants along the way next time!
