ZDAYZ Caravan Route Options

ZDAYZ Caravan - Option 1 - Google Maps (529 Miles - Google estimate of 9 hours 7 minutes) - This one includes a trip down the dragon on the way to the lodge and I'm not so sure I"ll be ready for that at the end of a 10 hour drive with a fully loaded car. However, at that time of day for this event, it might be quite busy so there wouldn't be any chance to over-drive it while tired... ;-)

ZDAYZ Caravan - Option 2 - Google Maps (535 Miles - Google estimate of 9 hours 15 minutes) - Includes a possible photo opp at Bristol Motor Speedway and avoids the dragon at the end. Might be more scenic as we get closer, but will include more intersections/stop lights.

Just posting these for fun and to pass the time while I wait! ;-)
