Well yeah, the Fox interviewer was completely completely clueless.
He hasn't finished yet. If the post above is correct that he is going to break the ride to Houston up in 2 days then he is not going to make DC on time if he continues that practice. He seems to already have a number of long days under his belt so hopefully he is just using this as a little break but he can't afford too many more.
True enough. He may or may not wind up making it. Weather is likely to be OK, but can be fickle. Regardless I still maintain that it wasn't an irresponsible or impossible plan (at least after he moved the start up a bit). You are correct that he can't afford to take many days off or many short days. He needs to decide based on how he feels and how much time he has.
I hope it all goes well and he pulls it off. If he doesn't I will still give him credit for the effort.
