Nice thing about a flexible schedule is I've been known to wait for favorable wind direction before embarking on a long trip if the wind is really strong, and it often is here. Or simply wait for sunset at which time the winds often calm down. Other nice things about driving overnight are less traffic and less need for a/c.
I'll also adjust cruise speed to wind direction, slowing even more for strong headwinds and taking advantage of "free speed" for tailwinds, and big hills.
