Overheating/coolant loss on long trips

A possibility is that there may be some sort of blockage restricting the flow of coolant, causing it to overheat

I will hand check multiple places next time it occurs, I don't have a temp gauge that I can use to test it. Also I will try to see if the rad is blocked up at all... Any good ways to test that? I will try taking both hoses off of rad and full pressure garden hosing in the top and see if it backs up at all...
