TravBuddy.com: schochon's 'McCarthy "Road' Trip" travel blog Copyright 2005 TravBuddy LLC http://www.travbuddy.com/blogs/36918 So finally a three day weekend and a trip. A two in one kind of road trip. One a Road Trip to McCarthy (750 miles in four days) and two the McCarthy Road itself, it a trip worth taking. That is if you like driving on a road placed on a railroad track bed that is 60 miles long and can take as long as 5 hours to drive. But there also my friends who live off the McCarthy road, with a 1.6 mile long drive-way that takes 30 minutes to drive (two beers and a cigar). all in all.
