ok cool, I may have some other stuff to do/work on so ading a powerlet adapter was kinda far down on my list of stuff to do before the rally. Now how much travel time we looking at from that rest stop in delaware? With no traffic I can make it down there in about 3 hrs.

I just checked google earth, cool shit, I put the cursor exactly on the rest stop, and it says exactly 12 hours 700 miles

so its 12 hrs from there, thats what I was nto sure of. I think its 8 something from up here. If we average 70mph while on the road with breaks and stuff 12 hrs sounds about right. Figure we stop every 150 or so miles for gas so thats every 2 hrs, then just have to factor in how long our breaks will be which I guess we will see as we go. Once one of us gets fatigued we will pack it in for a bit.

Dont forget, even pushing through, if it says 12 hours it usually means more like 13-14 with stops for gas, rest and food. Dont forget to drink lotsa non alcoholic fluid on the way too!

For a long ride like this a 15-20 minute break is good, just to stop and go for a walk for a few smoke a cig or 2 and stretch again.

Haven't heard from sixxxer yet with his take on the plan.

700 miles, stopping every 150 or so for gas and rest/food at 15 minutes a pop adds apporixmately 1.25-1.50 hours additional time...just saying...ya'll taking scenic or slab?
