I will be pulling a trailer and probably hit traffic. If you know me I always give myself extra time as not to be late or have someone expecting me there and not show up when I say I will be there. If I wasn't pulling a trailer and did not hit traffic I could make it in 2.5 hrs. I am not sure if we will be there on Sunday, it depends on the fishing.. I need a day off sometime.. Bill Batson
