I live in the exurbs west of Knoxville, TN. Once I get on I-70 at St. Louis it’s a deadly slog most of the way to Devner. Then, PRESTO, pure beauty and wonderful twisty, turning, up hill and down hill driving all the way to Reno. I did it eight years ago in a then new Navigator and it looks like, God willing (no joke at 75), I’ll be doing it in my new one come July of ‘18.
Congratulations to you! I am going to try to convince my husband to take me back to Vail again this summer, I also want a new car. Looking at the acura MDX hybrid... don’t have quite as far to go as you, usually make it to Denver in a day.
Do you get to Reno by taking I-70 to U.S. 50 to U.S. 395/I-580?
