Lexington — the meeting town London, KY is about 1 h 43 from Knoxville and 1 h 34 from Lexington, the smallest longest-leg of any pair from Knoxville.
What is the longest drive with a halfway guide from Knoxville?
Eugene, at an estimated 35 h 12 and 2252.7 mi one way — the guide's first meeting town is Ogallala, NE.
