Oooh yes!!
I've been wary of that since I was a kid. I don't remember the title but I read a book where there was a kid helping his family in the fields and got extremely hot and tired. Someone brought out some cold water and before anyone could stop the boy he drank deeply and passed out. Reading that has stuck around for a few decades lol
But thank you! We'll bring beverages that are hydrating. The trip will take us through a variety of environments. The drier climates are some of the most beautiful but daunting journeys
Those rest breaks absolutely add up no matter how quick you try to make them. Fortunately our major stops are in places large enough to have a store to top up snacks and water. There's two adults so we're swapping driving duties to lessen the load
Lol I have had a horrible experience with caffeine pills so I've sworn those off. I'll stop and stretch to reinvigorate myself. I learned myself a lesson after consuming too many nodoz and having a self inflicted panic attack
Lastly that site is really cool, thank you for the suggestion! We've got a lot of major stops planned but also some leeway for those impromptu side-of-the-road stops
