I can't recall ever having been glad to be stuck behind half a dozen heavy trucks on the road, but crawling down the pass at 20km/h was actually such a pleasure. I was going so slowly there was time to look around at the scenery and really appreciate it, and I even felt safe taking a photo with my cellphone in spite of the hairpin bends as I was almost completely stationary at times.
@beckyk365 I spend two days traveling - I have done it in one day once before but that was exhausting and I didn't have the dogs with me then so I could just keep driving except to fill up with fuel along the way. Mostly I take the dogs with me so we stop every few hours and I walk them around on leads to relieve themselves and then I am on the road about 8 hours each day. The distance is almost 1500km (about 900miles). I make life comfortable for myself. I have a travel mug for hot coffee and a Stanley mug for iced water. I also have a Stanley Flask for hot water so when I stop for the dogs to walk around I can make myself a fresh cup of hot coffee to drink while I am driving. And of course I have a water bowl and large bottle of fresh water so the dogs get to drink each time we stop.
