Yeah, Southern Wyoming is awful.

It would be awkward to say "Take the California 101 to Interstate 110 S to Interstate 105 West to Interstate 405 S to Redondo Boulevard".

It's much easier to say "Take the 101 to the 110 to the 105 to the 405 and get off on Redondo".
"the" still seems extraneous

That's because you're not used to saying it your entire life

:D

Both routes are equally boring IMO. I'd choose the northern route since it's summer. Or maybe look at the weather on the morning you leave Salt Lake City to see which route looks more favorable in that respect.
Best advice in the thread.

Nothing is worse than driving any interstate in the south...

a billion miles of nothing but pine trees lining the interstate...

Dallas to Shreveport is :banghead: or anything I-10 related from TX to FL...

At least in the plains states you can see further than the ditch on the side of the road.

Both have interesting areas, i'd go 80 just because Ive done it on 70 so many times.

Had a co-worker that used to say stuff like, "I went to the Walmart", but if I remember correctly he was raised East Coast, but spent a lot of time in Texas before moving to the KC area. I think adding "the" to things might be the only irrational language pet peeve I have.

I drive Denver to Salt Lake all the time and always go 80. Way more traffic on 70 and just a little longer drive time. Better views on 70 though.

Just be careful coming down I-25 around Ft. Collins/Loveland area as we have a serial shooter looking for a few good victims.

I-10 is rather boring with the exception of Mobile and Escambia Bay.

The 18-mile Achafalaya Basin bridge is interesting.

And, yes, Dallas to Shreveport is terribly boring. Except during the summer when it's hot. Lots of road-side grass fires.

But in regards to the roads out here, no one is going to say their official names because too much verbiage.

"California State Route 60" or "US Highway 101" or "The Pacific Coast Highway", is just too long, especially when there are 50+ such roadways in SoCal.

I've picked up loads at the Anheuser busch several times.

Do you own a bullet proof vest? Of course that may not work since one of the victims was shot in the neck. You may need something more Mad Max style.

Haven't been there in about a year. :)
