I'm just curious to how fast you have to drive to get there by 800pm on the 28 th of Dec. when you wre going to leave on Dec 28th at 200am. thanks Larry

We were just never more than a couple mph over the posted speed limit, especially in the 75 mph areas.

We left at 1:50 AM Eastern time and arrived at the lodge at 4:55 PM Eastern time.
That is roughly a 15 hour trip.
We stopped in Des Moines for 1.5 hours to have breakfast with a friend there.
That brings travel time down to 13.5 hours.
We made 4 fuel stops that totaled around 30 minutes.
That drops our driving time to 13 hours.


852 miles in 13 hours is an average of 65.5 mph.
