Utah men say they drove to 48 states, more than 7,000 miles

[May 10, 2008]  SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Three men say they drove to 48 states in less than five days, ending their journey in the Four Corners area of southeastern Utah. The Four Corners destination allowed them to quickly hit four states - Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.

The men arrived there Thursday around 6:30 p.m., after driving for 106 hours and 43 minutes. They started in Vermont on Sunday.

Josh Keeler, Adam Gatherum and Joey Stocking rode 7,000 miles in a 2005 Toyota Scion. They say their longest stop was 15 minutes for gas and a bathroom break.

They spent more than $1,000 on gas.
