I just brought my '52 6400 home from Pagosa Springs with the Pass all hard packed snow. Mandatory chains on the commercial rigs. Just adds to the adventure pulling 8,000 lbs of truck and trailer with a 6,000 lb 4x4 pick up...
Anyway, ditch the GPS and use a good 'ol fashioned map. Once you're on US 160, there aren't many ways to get lost. I'm a retired OTR driver and I just looked at my atlas for where I wanted to end up and drove. It was great, except for the 70 miles of desolate highway 10 from La Junta to Walsenburg that was all ice.
Allowing 4 days to go 870 miles is only 215 per day. That should be an easy run. On my way home I stopped at midnight in Colby, KS and left there at 5:30 am the next morning. I had the cruise set at 58 mph to let the trans shift into overdrive. I made it all the way home from there, 813 miles in 16 hours.
