    Ditto, I drive the nights also. I can take a quick nap and be really refreshed for a few hours. Having to pee will definately keep you awake.

    LOL - we have been so concerned with the amount of time per day we have to drive, we completely overlooked the 70 hour rule - LOL! Gary got the one hour warning last night - after only driving for 9 hours. He's like WTF!! So needless to say we broke out our recap and our thinking caps... we are pretty sure we have enough for our run to Maryland... but Gee Shucks we will need to do a 34 reset with in a hop/skip/jump from DC - maybe we will need to rent a car and go sightseeing :biggrin_25525:
     
    Trilleth and Wedge Thank this.

    As a team, it is a pretty rare thing to need a reset. Remember you get hours back each midnight. We run close to the edge a lot and lots of time we can get a reset for one of us by just planning ahead a bit.

    As a city to walk around in from truck-safe parking, Seattle is currently my favorite. :biggrin_25519:

    YAY! Have fun, you two!
