I have been to the fly in 14 times but have made 16 attempts.
The first time I started out for the Confab was in 2005 but only made it a little more than half way. It was a very hot summer and I didn’t plan properly and started to feel I’ll so I turned back for home.
The second time I didn’t get there was 2010 when I had mag failure near Binghamton NY. Spent 3 days there before we continued on for Clinton.
Spent 2 nights in Tiffin OH due to 40 mph headwinds.
Then it was predicted to rain for the next 3 days so we headed for home before we got stuck there.
My suggestion is to give yourself a day or two extra for travel time because the weather can play havoc with your plans.
Coming from MA I always take 2 days to actually travel.
Trying not to fly when it’s too hot or bumpy.

As some say YMMV.
