Parley you don't have to Worry about-It's the Mountain you climb that drops into SLC-Take the route I told you and you can run the Valley which comes out north of SLC. And you're got the "Sisters" which is East of Evanston, Wyo. but they're nothing. You're gonna have Snoqualmie Pass which is East of Seattle and it can get buried in snow and Ice. Thanks again for the heads up. I really do miss being out there and hopefully tomorrow will shed some good news.

Yoopr: You and Colin are talking about the same thing. The split is just past the coop going west on I-80 just inside Utah. That is the I-84 split near Echo. And, Ironeagle is right about taking I-29 to exit 10 in Iowa, and taking NE-2 over to I-80.
Should be lots of fun this winter!!

I don't run that far away anymore
 I used to run 191 north out of Rock Springs to Alpine, then 26 north. It would get me around Salt lake and works going north or south. The boss couldn't figure how I would get back to the yard, when he had trucks "stuck" in SLC during a storm.

Which is not far from where you'd see Windwalker's avatar for Bad Route Road.

Suggestion. Want to save 137 miles?
Take I-90 West to Missoula, MT, go west on US 12 to Lewiston, ID, then continue on US 12 to Kennewick, WA, then take 182 to 82 west to 90 west and you are in Seattle. Driven it many times. Great scenery!!!!

it wasn't a rascist comment at all if that's what you're thinking. My experience running across Reservations is that the Police have pretty much a no Tolerance thing when it comes to speed limits and such.
Basically I'm saying mind your P's and Q's. I agree the folks are very friendly.
