Test or just replace your radiator cap.

I had a similar problem a few years ago, losing coolant during an extended road trip (a couple 1000 mile days in a row). The coolant loss was accompanied by some strange gurgling sounds under and behind the dash and strange, occasional fogging of windshield. It was during an extreme cold spell with sub-zero temps. I limped the last 50 miles or so into Dickinson, ND with the heater blasting and windows open. I got some crazy looks from other drivers.

I was afraid of head gasket issues, but the problem has not resurfaced for over two years, now.
