Loving those guys.
Reminds me of a personal lesson I learned a few years ago. I was driving to KY to visit family. Nightfall hit and the weather got awful. Was on a mountain interstate that was under construction...no pained lines, no emergency lanes or shoulder and raining so hard you could not see. Making it worse, tractor trailers would zoom by producing a wave of water. Was white knuckling it and fearing the worst. Then I saw a sign that said "lodging next exit." Was hoping I could make it. Finally got there and found the hotel. Nerves were shot and I just wanted a drink. No food or drink at the only hotel available. Only beer sold in that county and I cannot drink beer due to the gluten.
Important lesson...despite what you think your plans are (I never expected an overnight stop)...never travel without alcohol!!!
