That said, I want to get started rehashing some of the
journey.  I'll start with the travel days.

Thanks for the report, enjoyable reading.  And I can't help saying
that "went north on I-80" made me laugh.

  Ugh... HATE long travel days, been there, done that, try not
to. 3PM is a nice stop time>

 I think the sweet spot for me if I have a way to go is about
 500 miles. That is still a long day, but it doesn't kick your
 ass too bad.  A little extra driving each day for me is worth
 it if it give me one less travel day, and one more at the place
 I want to get to.  That said, I certainly can understand how
 other people do not like to drive that many miles in one day. 
 Especially in an RV, or pulling a trailer, or both.

Yeah, I'm finding 300 miles pulling my trailer is about as much as
I can do in a day without getting stressed/worn.  Of course I'm
not going over 60 mph, so that really adds time.
