Trust the science
I may be one of the few that understand that statement in bold. I was riding my Goldwing to OKC one morning after two days of no sleep to get a medical checkup at the Navy Reserve clinic by the fairgrounds. I would bet the farm that cedar tree beside the road turned into a bear and ran into the field next to the right of way.
Lack of sleep can certainly cause hallucinations.
It was harvest time and I was dead set on getting back on the combine after making that trip.
Common sense finally got a grip, so swung by my sisters and slept for several hours.
That's us too. Get a t-shirt at each national park, beartooth pass, tail of the dragon....etc....then move on. 10 years later we are reminded those trips by wearing those t-shirts. They are starting to show wear so we may have to go back !!
No. The company has a rule that we can't drive/work for more than 10 hours per day. Plus, we have to stick pretty close to the speed limits. I did some figuring and it will take us 4 days to make it all the way up there and then 4 more to get back. Also, this won't be a solo trip because we work as a team.
However, back when I drove 18-wheelers, I would be away from home for weeks while hauling Anhydrous Ammonia in Kansas and Nebraska and living out of the truck's sleeper and eating at the Dodge City truck stop.
Actually, have you watched a crow fly? It ain't a straight line.
Hawk. Goin’ for the musselshell.
I'm going to break out my 25' measuring tape and find out. Let you all know in about 25y lol.
About a month ago, I went from Choctaw to just north of Savannah, GA. I stayed the night somewhere in South Carolina, just across the border. I left at 6 AM CST and arrived just after midnight EST. It was just over 1100 miles and 17 hours. I've done 14 hour drives several times. I was driving a new Denali with Supercruise though so a lot of that time was hands-free.
