Branson in 2 days?

I just want to remind you great POG members about the dangers of DVT. I developed this as a result of our round trip to Kerrville from Reno. Here is a site that explains the dangers and how to prevent this life-threatening problem. Now I must wear pressure stocking at all times while driving and stop every hour. This thing is like a time bomb and may be a problem for the rest of my life. Take it easy, stop often, walk around and simply exercise regularly along your trip, especially if you are over 60. Ya'all have a great trip. We'll see you in May at the West Coast POG V!!

WALK 30 MINUTES EVERYDAY.

Gary,

I think you can put in one of the easier long days doing the I-40 run since it is pretty open and not a lot of towns to deal with. We did 911 miles from Williams, AZ to OKC with a fuel stop in New Mexico and a BBQ stop in Amarillo in one day.

And for POG 1, thanks to Jon's 0'dark thirty wake-up call, we made the Polk City to Houston run with one stop for fuel and one for crawfish and that one was 1007 miles, so you could do it in two days with the a giant Beagle on your head.

Thanks for all the input. I traveled back from Florida last August averaging 500 miles per day and it was typically a 8-10 hour days. I drove that alone with no problems as my wife was my navigator from home checking my progress by cell phone and computer. It sounds a lot like running a marathon in being phsically and mentally prepared.
