Matt--
I would defer to others on this board more knowledgeable than I but a few thoughts:
1. Radiator fan and relays working??
2. Could be an "internal head gasket leak" which can turn catatrophic if not attended to. (I know as this killed my 900 Turbo based on a failed radiator/fan relay which I ignored to my peril.)
3. Have you inspected dipstick for bubbles/ telltale sign of [severe] coolant leakage?
Given your long return trip I would NOT drive that distance w/ the "heater on" trick...a gamble and one w/ poor odds.
Hope your mechanic can diagnose/fix for you.
Also search this board for overheating etc.
Again I am a shade tree mechantic and hope others on the board will respond/correct me etc.
