I would say that rattling off consecutive 400 mile days is not a problem. I assume you meant 4-5 days one way. It's 2200 miles one way, so that would be 4+ 1000 mile days in a row for round trip.

Pack half as much clothing as you think you need and avoid cotton. You can rinse out performance-fabric tshirts and underwear easily on the road. Bring a tire repair kit and other tools (don't forget a tire gauge and chain lube). Bring Honda spray and a few microfiber rags.

Good luck and have a fun and safe trip.

Hey, I didn't think about chain lube. Thanks! My thinking was 4-5 days one way.
What do y'all think about carrying extra fuel? I remember when we transferred from NAS Whidbey Island we seemed to get to places where gas stations were few and far between.
