Forty five minutes after getting up we were on a way at 7:15. The GPS showed 508 miles to destination, and as about 200 miles was on non-Interstate I was planning on 11-11.5 hours, including breaks. In reality the non-Interstate roads were mostly 4-lane with very few towns to slow us down. We arrived at out destination in Lake Village Arkansas after 9 hours 55 minutes; I was impressed, and more importantly I wasn’t tired. The truck behaved perfectly despite the temperature reaching 34C at times, admittedly we started out at 900 ft above sea level, climbed to 1700 ft and back down to 150 ft, so there wasn’t too much hill climbing involved.
Time to get a bit of (hot humid) fresh air and exercise, then some dinner.
