Hmmm....
Are you SURE you want to do this trip? I have done the mid December
Sacramento to Baltimore trip... in a 1965 Chevy Ven with a 283 in it...

It gets COLD in the deserts of Utah and Wyoming. And the crosswinds going
across Nebraska (800 miles of rolling hills and nothing to stop the drifting
snow.

Lost an alternator between SLC and Evanston Wyoming. Made it in OK but what
if that had happened in the middle of the night between the Nevada border
and SLC? Nothing out there... nothing.

The whole thing was exciting, when I was 22 and dumb...

but now?

Anyhow, I don't think you'll be needing your canoe.
