When I make the drive I will have the cap on the back of my pick-up truck with an inflatable mattress in the truck bed. Any Walmart or other big box store parking lot will be where I pull over to sleep. I will bring all the food and water I need for the drive and disposable gloves and hand sanitizer for pumping gas. I will also fill a couple of thermoses with hot coffee for the ride. The only problem I can't seem to easily solve will be finding a safe place to go to the bathroom. Also, I always cut over to I81 in Fredericksburg to avoid all the Washington DC, Baltimore, Delaware, New Jersey, and New York traffic. It's a longer ride home mileage wise, but I can't stand getting stuck in traffic and would much rather drive further than sit in traffic. However, this time I may risk taking I95 all the way North since traffic should be much lighter than usual.
