I made the mistake of leaving when the gps said the trip home would only be 3 hrs 50 min (when the normal drive is 3 hrs 30 min).
What I failed to consider is that the 20-minute delay was essentially a delay that would persist in front of us for most of the drive home. Basically, every 30 to 40 miles experienced a 20-minute delay, for nearly 200 miles. It ended up taking us 2 extra hours to get home.
We had the cabin for another night, but didn’t want the kids to miss another day of school. In respect, though, we should’ve delayed leaving a couple hours rather than trusting the gps calcs.
Glad it worked out for you.
We had perfect weather in Arkansas.
