I’ve discovered that the mileage (860 miles, 12.5 hours) to Lake Havasu City, AZ, where the sun is, matches the mileage and time to Kent, WA, where my son is! I’ve done that Washington State trip non-stop before and it’s grueling!
I’m repeating a trip tomorrow morning that I took last summer on my way to the West Coast. I’ll be bopping down through Salt Lake City and laying over at marker 44, south of Cedar City, Utah. It’s a good run, about nine hours, and if I leave early enough I can grab my spot before the Spring Break crowd arrives.
Things are different this time. There’s no internet at this rest area and I had to wait until the next day to post my post. Now I have a smart-phone that I can setup a mobile hotspot with. If all goes well I’ll have a post up tomorrow evening from marker 44.
Travel safely and have a good time.
You and I have a history on that non-stop drive from here to Washington, along with your great-grandson… That was a good time :-)
