endurance driving

["Michelle Fink" <michrowe@frontier.net>]

Please send me your hint, tips, etc. for enduring long drives alone.  May have to haul my mare 12 hours to the CSU vet clinic this afternoon for surgery on the abscessed hoof (the coronet's corium layer has remained swollen and there is evidence of osteomyletis).  I am thinking of doing it at night when it's cool and there is less traffic - ie. no RV's on Wolf Creek Pass hopefully.  Will have to stop every 3-4 hours for a 1 hour break for the horse.  Vet does not recommend a layover along the way.

 

Chocolate covered espresso beans?  Loud rowdy music?  No-Doze?  Tape pictures of the radiographs to the dash (the mental image keeps me up at night)?  You are the pros, how do I do it??
