发帖数: 1560 | 3 总的来说，不紧张。当然要看你长途的经验。注意车的状态，每两天看看各种机油的情
况。
行程上也可以灵活些，路上经过的小镇都可以休息，喜欢的就多看看，当天中午看看身
体状态，决定走多远，再上网订旅馆就可以了。

发帖数: 319 | 5 Very helpful. Could you elaborate more on my points below? Sorry I cannot
input Chinese at office.
We went for 1000-1500 mile trips three times, but never done one >1500 miles
. This one will be around 3200 - 3500 miles I think.
What are 各种机油 that we shall look? We only know coolant and the regular
机油.
We went for a mechanic check the other day. They suggest replace other
fluids (transmission etc.) for over $600. We didn't do it then since it
sounds more of maintenance to us, and we won't

发帖数: 1560 | 6 不用特别担心，你们这一路上人烟稀少的地方不多。就是montana和south dakota 空旷
点。
机油就是engine，transmission，power steering，另外coolant和windshield也看看
。因为开这样长也差不多该查
了。一方面是别漏油，一方面是适当更新。要是一般的情况，在加油站买点自己补充就
行了。出发前可以都换一
下，但好像不要600吧，60差不多了，呵呵。
如果你们搬家的东西也放在车里，加上旅行所需，可能会挺重，加重了transmission的
负担。所以在西部爬山的
时候，适当换挡，加速别太猛，到东部一马平川的时候也是，别一高兴忘了，到了纽约
transmission也毁了。
还有为安全起见，东西尽量放低，一个是不挡住后面视线，一个是紧急刹车后面东西不
会飞到前面来砸到人和
窗户。
south dakota 东部早晚会有大雾，好像我每次经过都会碰到。如果遇到，也担心经验
不够，那就休息好了。如果
要开，可以打开应急灯让前后车看到。车速不要太慢，后面的车在雾里很难判断你的速
度，会追尾。
唠叨了半天，主要就是安全第一，玩乐第二，赶时间第三。

发帖数: 6482 | 7 It really depends on how much long-distance driving experience you have and
how fit are you ...
Personally I would try to confine to a max of 5 hours driving a day, but in
your plan looks ok since you can only have so many days on the road. SLEEP
WELL especially in the early part of the trip. And save a day to recover
once you get into NYC so you can go to work refreshed.
I have done Seattle - Glacier NP, and this time of the year is especially
scenic. Bighorn Canyon (right before Devils) in

发帖数: 6482 | 8 你考虑得真周到。
我最近刚帮人搬家，一路上两百多英里都只能勉强看到后面，确实憋屈。
