In this case, it happened early. The driving style was measured, the route was handled with obvious familiarity, and the overall tone of the transfer felt professional rather than casual. We had enough room for our things and enough flexibility for a short scenic pause. The whole ride made us feel like the route was in capable hands, which is probably the most important compliment for a mountain transfer.
