How keep corny cold away from home?

[qposner]

I searched but couldn't find an answer. I am driving from Portland, OR to Syringa, ID to meet 9 friends for a 2 day raft trip down the Lochsa . We are meeting around 3pm the day before the trip and I would like to bring a corny with me for all of us to enjoy that afternoon/early evening. It is a 7 hour drive (or so). How could I easily keep my corny cold for the drive over there and the afternoon? I really don't want to buy a Keglove if I don't need to. Thanks for any suggestions!

Ice chest. Either lay the cooler down in it (if it is big enough) or sit it upright and wrap a towel around it to keep the air flow down. If you are not planning on keeping the keg cool overnight than this should be sufficient.

The above is enough, but if you want something else.

You could build something like this with plastic tubing especially if the keg is already coldish. Or maybe a combo of the two ideas?

Thanks. I just remembered I have a large soft sided cooler. I will see if that will work. Too bad I can't find a cheap CL jockey box!

There is a neoprene keg insulator on sale for about $30 on kegconnection.com which says it can keep a keg cold for up to 24 hours. I haven't ordered one yet but would be interested to hear from anyone who has one. It seems like 24 hours would be a stretch, but 8-12 hours should be reasonable; for an extra $15 there is an optional ice jacket which fits between the keg and the insulator.

That is the Keglove I mentioned.

If you buy the keg insulator you have to buy the ice blanket with it also. I just bought 1 today and I'm hoping it will do the job for taking my kegs to summer pool parties
