sounds like a good plan. I might be interested in staying a bit further
along to make a more even split between a 10 and a 15 hour driving day.
Somewhere around Davenport would probably be my chosen stop.

maybe, maybe not... I just hit a post-SAS milage record last week,
15.7MPG, after doing plugs-cap-rotor and seafoaming. Might be better yet
after I remove the slack adjuster cable in the right rear which I can't
get to stop overtensioning for the life of me. and it'll get worse again
after I get 37s and add the weight of dual t-cases, bumpers, rack and
winch... but whatever =)

lightweight ;-P
I consider CBs a near-must for this trip. I like the way my 4x4 club does
it - they're just required. no CB = no ride. it's nice! except when
there's a flakey cable or something like that that makes them even worse
than FRS....
