Some years ago a friend and I planned a trip from the northern end to Natchez. I had built a TE clone for both of us. When the trip time came up I fell ill really ill. He made the trip alone with his wife driving sag and staying in motels. He made the 440+ mile ride in 3 1/2 days. I couldn't have made that ride on my best day but when we rode together he matched my pace.
