It is easily 29,905 road miles away.

If you put all of your blood vessels end to end they would go to the moon and back.

The flight distance is 2,520 miles, Google puts road distance at 3,179 mi = 1.26x, 29,905 mi is 11.87x. Road miles are not even close to accounting for it, it’s just a bug.

The moon orbits too quickly to make this practical

Being a little bit clever can lead you to make some pretty bad mistakes.

Yes, the distance according to roads can be different from the distance as the crow flies. No, it cannot realistically be 10x the distance when the crow's distance is 2500 miles.

But what if you count the distance of going in and out of each tiny crack on the road surface?

Look up "fractal dimensions".

I question your use of the word “easily”.

You would have to take an implausible number of wrong turns to have a chance of making it anywhere near that long a drive. For an example of a shorter but still entirely unreasonable path: Head straight north all the way to the pole, continue south to the pole, continue north to the latitude of the destination, then head due east until arrival.
