Road trip next week

I'll be doing this trip (Sequim to Spokane) in my CR1 in Oct, possibly sooner.

I'm doing Sequim to Lake Chelan this weekend (288 miles).

Got my A2Z a few weeks ago. Opens up a whole lot more convenience!

The trips that I have done during cold winter temps where I had to go via I-90, I would charge before climbing Snoqualmie (Taco Bell or the North Bend mall). ABRP and Ford nav said I could have gone to Ellensburg, but it was a little too close to empty for me. A traffic slowdown with the heater/defrost running and climbing uphill, I felt like I'd be getting towed.

With the warmer weather, I might try to push it now that there are two Supercharger sites in Cle Elum. I'll see how favorable the range prediction is with the warmer temps.

If I was to drive around I would have to stop in Ellensberg. Taking the ferry knocks off 80 miles and is about 5 miles from my house. That is what enables going on to Moses Lake.

From the Oly Pen, the ferries save mileage, but are actually longer travel time. Makes more sense for me to take a ferry in an ICE, but with the MME, driving around through Tacoma makes more sense since it's is much cheaper and quicker.

Since the ferry service meltdown during Covid and post-Covid, if we actually have to be somewhere on time (mostly kids soccer games), driving around is more reliable. Some of the ferry delays are ridiculous and happen at random. We only take the ferry any more if we are doing a leisurely trip and have time to burn.

All of that to say, I love road tripping in this car!
