T-minus 7 days[emoji41]. Getting all my shit squared away this weekend. Planning on hitting the road at 5am next Friday so I have time for an afternoon hunt.

Chad... I think you better leave closer to 3 AM to get there in time to locate the stands and hang your other stand.... Not sure what Map-quest says it takes from your house.... But allow extra time for work zones etc...Remember you'll lose an hour stopping at the cabin grabbing your stand and driving up to the property... On the average it takes me 18 hours from Jersey... One good thing going out... You gain an hour... Above all make sure you get some sleep before hitting the road... Gonna be fun following you on this trip... Can't wait for it to start....
Sleep will be the questionable part. I'd like to leave earlier but I have to work until 10pm Thursday night. As of right now I'm not even going to sleep until 3:30am.

DO NOT DRIVE TIRED... Nothing worse than falling asleep while driving... Been there done that... I was lucky...
I've fell asleep at the wheel before too. I should still have time for an afternoon hunt.

If you find yourself driving and fighting sleep, pull over and get a couple hours rest. Better to miss a afternoon hunt and arrive safe. Have fun!

Chad, I leave for Illinois on Friday too! We hunt in Adams county and stay in Pike county. Where are you going to be?
Shit man, I'll be in Brown county. We won't be that far apart, maybe we can meet up at Casey's and get a pizza!
