- OK - here's my caravan plan for the Carlisle All-Chrysler Nationals.
A couple notes:
- The speeds are based upon 65MPH. There will be at least one truck towing a trailer in the group, and 65MPH is the speed limit for such a vehicle.
- Gas stops are based on 20MPG. Again, based more on the truck/trailer than anything else. The upside to traveling the turnpikes is that you are rarely more than an hour away from the next gas stop.
- Stopping in Elyria, OH - just west of Cleveland, OH. It's the halfway point of the trip and as mentioned before, I cannot do the entire run in one shot anymore without getting goofy.
- Times are all EASTERN.
