Hey Sailbum, "rushing it" yes perhaps, but we have found plenty of helpful blogs that describe doing this in 10 days or even less. F35 looks like a beautiful 4x4 drive, we had only considered going in as far as Gulifoss Falls. Looks like a 4-5 hour drive all the way through F35, if we were equipped for camping we would do that whole leg. Where did you stay around Hofn? we plan on 2 nights in 3 towns...is Hofn a good choice for 2 nights? Vik area is also a 2 night consideration. Appreciate your input!
