[Goin 4 Broke]

Great dialogue - we also just completed our annual run from Illinois to Florida. First day was to Manchester, TN about 575 miles. It was a LONGbday for me. We then had a short leg to Perry, GA and enjoyed a late start and early arrival, only 300 miles. Then the last leg to Jacksonville, again an easy day.

On our return trip we did a long run to Biloxi about 500 miles, then a run up to Memphis and home, the last leg another long one of over 500 miles.

I have learned that I get too crabby with the long runs. While I enjoy driving, getting to a location tired and hungry makes the set up no fun for my wife ( or me later!). So from now on I will only plan on 350 per day and MAYBE an occasional 400 if we are pressed for time.
