We try to do that one-way and low-fly the return (or vice versa). But if you need to get somewhere - not a very close somewhere at that - then it becomes amazing how far you can drive in one day and there is usually a lot more distance beyond that to further destinations.

I would dearly like to stop and explore some of the places along the way but there's little time for that (besides safety breaks) because it bites into time spent at the destination.
