For me, even though its a 10 day round trip in a vehicle, I'd be driving
a van, sleep in it, and make a
holiday out of it, probably a
month's worth, maybe do some
bird hunting, maybe some fishing,
hog hunting down south, along the
way. Buy a used freezer, genset
and a small utility trailer up here,
for the way back and sell it when I
got back.
I've thought often of doing something similar on my yearly hunts to Wyoming. And I would, if I could only get one of my buddies to commit. I already have the freezer and generator, but that's just too many hours of windshield time to be doing it solo over the course of 3-5 days.Then be fresh enough for the hunt, and then to do it all over again to get home.

I run solo up to NY and PA 2-3 times a year, straight through,
which is 18-19 hrs. At 68y/o, 33-35 hrs solo, is just too daunting.

Sure would be nice though to stop on the way home and chase some pheasants in SD, or a buck in Kansas....maybe some partying in Nashville or New Orleans...
