Default Re: Anyone travel a long distance in the States by car?

Traffic won't be bad but weather could seriously suck. Pack an emergency bag with a week's worth of food, a flare, a flashlight, a (charged) cell phone battery, and the like. Tire chains or a 4x4 are advisable.

I've done a ton of long-distance driving: LA to Vermont, five round trips. Virginia to LA in February. Albequerque to Durham, NC with zero stops (1700+ miles). In the summer, I probably wouldn't give a diddly about emergency gear, but it would seriously suck to get caught in the wrong spot at this time of year.
