 Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2009 6:49 pm Post subject: The dreaded haul back to Washington begins in 36 hours... |
 |
|
As of 8am Wednesday morning, Alishea and I are making the trek back to Washington, she'll already have driven from Atlanta to Houston with the Penske and her car already in tow tomorrow (starting at 5am, arriving, hopefully no later than 5pm) ...
The trip is going to be PAINFULLY long, because I was unable to sell my Grand Prix while I was down here and it needs to come with us as well...
So, we're thinking about the final legs of the trip, we're going to try and push 10-12 hours of driving time, included, supposedly, a few needed breaks here or there. Mapquest says its a 37 hour drive, and at 60-65 mph I suppose that will be true, as towing her car behind a Penske truck will be slow going for sure.
We're hoping to arrive Saturday at some point. But we'll see how well that works out...
Really looking forward to being back home again  for good. |

I just did the opposite drive, and let me tell you its not 60-65 mph the whole way... more like 90-100 mph the whole way. 
I would get tailgated at 85 by semi trucks! lol
Good luck on the drive
