Driving from Salt Lake to KC: take the 80 or the 70?
Hey kids.

I'm driving from Northern California to KC next week. I figure going through Northern Nevada to Salt Lake is the only real way to get halfway there, but from Salt lake, the map says it takes about the same time to go via the 80 through southern WY and then Nebraska, or turn south toward Denver and go the 70 through Kansas.

Have any of you done one or both of these routes? Which is better?

thanks

TE

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

Best advice in the thread.

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

Dallas to Shreveport is 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.

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.

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.
