Back in the late 60s and early 1970s, when I was in undergrad and grad
school in Missouri, I drove solo, relatively non-stop 23 (+ -  10-30 mins)
hour one way trips to Vermont in my 1964 Beetle.  It never seemed to take so
long on my returns to either Southwest or Central Missouri, for some reason.
I did a lot of inside window scraping during many of those winter season
trips.
