What gets you through long drives?

I'm making the drive from Las Vegas to Telluride later today. Its about a 9 or 10 hour drive and I'm really not looking forward to it.

Does anybody have any good methods for getting through longer drives (I'm not going to be able to sleep through it all because I have to help navigate/drive the whole time).

12+ is a long drive. 16+ is painful.

HAHAHA you are weak.

My longest drives:
-Quebec city- Owen Sound, ON= 11 straight hours. easy
-Quebec City - Islandview, NS= 19hrs, but my dad helped
Quebec City - Jay Peak= 5 hrs
-Quebec City - Collingwod, ON= 10 straight hours
-My cross canada road trip longest stretch= 16hrs straight
-Nelson, BC - Kelowna, BC= 5 hrs

None of these I found hard, I love to drive. I found coffee and red bull to be super important. High sugar candies help a lot by crewing. I like to eat gummy worms and Maynard's Cherry Blasts. Music is crucial, I love to sing to punk and assist the singer in rap songs. Last: weed puts me in the right state of mind for super long drives.

depends on the conditions. When the snow is falling hard, getting around becomes near impossible. Deer on that highway is just amazing. I always see at least 2 deers in either direction. Plus its a scenic drive.
