[QUOTE="gixxerjasen, post: 1122772, member: 20220"] That would certainly take the pressure off if you could and leave you spending your energy on the ride. By the way, I did mine by leaving at 4am, took a very leisurely lunch (It was the destination after all) and rode back home rolling in sometime after 9pm. Rolled through Little Rock both ways on a Friday. Evening traffic was pretty bad. I'd meant to run south around it but missed my exit and went right through at the worst of it. I just try to look at it realistically and you look to be cramming a lot of stuff into a short amount of time...stuff that most would break into individual days. Plus, I think you'll enjoy it more if the concentration is on the ride and you can leave work out of it. Plus, if your luck is anything like mine, something will blow up at work requiring you to stay late. Some years ago we'd planned on me leaving work and getting in the car and driving straight through to my parents in Florida by taking shifts. I screwed up a customer's server at 4pm and ended up staying late and dumping it on one of my marvelous coworkers. That sucked!
