We hadn't thought of doing it quite this way and now we have a different set of data to play with as we plan the opening of the trip! We'll definitely stay inside the speed limits on the parkway -- we have been warned by a couple of folks that they mean business along there. Which is fine by me. I know lots of curvy roads where I can go too fast!
