Will, Yes and Yes.
You have nearly 4 days to make your way into Cherokee
Leaving Grand Junction Sunday 8-26-17 around 9-10am arriving in Cherokee on Wednesday 8-29-17 around 3-5pm
The ride between Grand Junction and Cherokee is approximately 1700 miles, take some detours.
I figure that I will Drive/Ride on Sunday until 8-9pm 650-700 miles, spending the night somewhere around SALINA, KS.
Monday morning hitting the road around 8am riding another 700-750 miles and stopping just south of Nashville around 8-9pm (Murfreesboro area). Tuesday morning hitting the road around 9am and taking my good ole time getting into Cherokee through the mountains, arriving in Cherokee Tuesday afternoon and winding down, catch up on some business and maybe visit a masseuse at the Harrahs casino
. Wednesday morning hitting the Grocery store and the High Octane mountain water stores. Need to re-stock the supplies for the weekend. TOO EARLY to even think about this, my itinerary may change.
