I have driven part way and done 8 miles over two mountains. As I get ready to begin again here in the Spring, thats how I'll start.

Sounds like a good approach. I wish I had one more month to get ready to do this, but it is what it is. I don't think I can park somewhere to make it easier, but maybe? Like the idea.
