Yes
Good point about driving during daylight.

Due to work schedule, hours of museum we plan to visit I'm going to have to start the journey overnight, at least the start of it.

Thanks for the tips and encouragement.
I'll post a few pics

Hopefully it won't end up like the first time I drove it to work 3 years ago. On my way in to work I heard a clanging sound from underneath. Pulled into a lot looked around couldn't find anything. Called a tow truck and towed home with wounded pride. Only to find out it was a loose lug nut.

Have the cell phone, iPad, the wife can ping me and see where I am. We hope to arrive around the same time.

I should be able to maintain 55, except going up the grade.
So far no issues with overheating.


Right now the plan is to leave Saturday 2am.

Have LEDs on the rear, 3rd brake light. Might help.
