We pushed on with our marathon first day of driving. However, we still did not have functional CPAPs, but we were so exhausted, we managed a few hours of uncomfortable sleep.

The plan was to meet my wife with the dogs at my folks house Thursday night after work, finish packing for our 3 week trip, sleep a few hours and be on the road by 4 am. It was 10 o’clock at night in Canyon Country, CA, where my folks live and where we store our 33 foot Grand Designs Reflection, travel trailer. ![]() I slammed on my brakes even though I was only going 3 mph.
