Well, true, but you'd get quit dizzy driving round and round the island. :)

The US isn't 5000 miles from one end to another (more like 3000), but it
wouldn't take too long to accumulate that sort of mileage.  Traveling
from one coast to another, then up/down the coast would get you
pretty close to 5000 miles (say, on a route from Seattle-Miami-Boston).

If you drove straight through, you could do this in a week, give or take.
