No guarantee but I think it's possible to make it if your front diff is not real bad. If you drive smooth and don't put too much stress on the front diff, smooth as accelerate slowly and easy and don't try to stop too often if possible, don't put too much stress as don't give hard throttle acceleration, you have a higher chance there.

When my front diff was bad, I still put another 3000miles on it, I also drove on I-68 a few times with Mountains, when it got real bad(the last time) and I still made there to Cumberland. I could feel the clunking noise became louder and more rough, I "really" accelerated it so slow and when I got the speed up to 75-80mph on I-68, I "used" very light throttle - the front diff noise became much softer and less stress.

PS: If you want to try, check or add if you have enough front diff fluid.
