Ive travelled by greyhound. Many, many years ago. It isnt undoable, but not my favorite. That is an awfully long haul by bus for a not so long distance by car.
Is there a train available?

@Carla Exactly my thoughts, I have never seen an itinerary where the route travels you away from your destinatiin before heading that way, and I have taken 32 cross country trips by Greyhound from 1988 to 2014, very odd.

@Carla Exactly, going straight south, the opposite direction away from his destination.
