Thanks everyone. I made it back in one piece.
The longest trip got canceled due to a miscommunication about renting the state car. They thought we wanted on the 18th when the email clearly said the 19th. So there were no cars available yesterday. Instead, we did visits around here and then went to the place we were going to stop on the way back from the long trip. It was about an hour and half away, so not too bad. That meeting went way better than anyone had hoped. It was uplifting to say the least.
