[Healeys] radiator hose leak while on a western adventure

Hi List,
 
My son and I are on a western adventure from NY state in my 1960 BN7.   It's 
been going great until today when we found a pin hole leak in the lower  
radiator hose where the heater piece attaches.  I plan on being at the  grand 
canyon tomorrow (150 miles away) and have VB sending a new hose which will  be 
there on Tuesday.  
 
I taped the hole with duct tape and drove 100 miles today (150 to  go).  
Still a small leak.  I am in a town with no services.   Could I add more tape, 
leave the cap loose, and make it all right to the Grand  Canyon?  
 
PS, yes, I know I should have brought a hose.
