I plan to make the whole drive in one long day with plenty of stops. With the load I will keep the speeds down too.

You can do that trip in one day, Allen. :) You will be tired, and you might need to take a few naps, but you can make it in one day. ;)

Spud :)

That's what I would so. I'd rather have one long hard day and get it over with.

I suggest when you arrive keep Buford indoors for a few days and then let him out for short periods with supervision so he knows where home is and does not get scared and lost.

I was going to keep him in the shop and let him adjust to his new environment.

I have driven 16 hours many times. That is the drive from here to Pella, IA.

Buford I think would rather get it over with also.

When taking long drives with cats I find it helps to share the driving. That way you can rest and pee in the litterbox and not have to stop so often.

Maybe I should turn on the heated seat.

I bet that Buford would love that.

12 hours is about my limit these days. I used to drive ridiculous distances in one stretch, but I start to hallucinate after 12 now.

Indeed, 12 hours is a long day in the saddle. ;) However, in certain instances, such as this one, it's nice to complete the trip in one day, if possible. :)

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Heck, Bufords big enough to almost reach the pedals to boot! :)

You guys have all got me beat, I'm not much of a long distance driver... I'd make a lousy truck driver! :lol:

When I was in residency I drove solo straight from Connecticut to Orlando, Florida. 20 hours. 8O

Yes a girl was involved. :P

Yes it was worth it. :wink:

I'd never do that again though.

I will have to stop and rest a couple times. If I stop for a night I will feel like I am wasting time. The van is comfortable and doesn't wear me out like other vehicles. 14 hours is very doable on my own.

Also sold my car today. :cry: I liked that car, but it is for the best.

I'm sure the car sale will work out for the best, Allen. :) It's tough to transfer vehicles across the country. ;)

Spud :)

You sold the Buick crew cab?

Yep. I did make one last run to the scrap pile with it.

The car was sold to a Canadian.
