Here's the mapquest route...

Mapquest estimates it at 18.5 hours... would be three easier days, two really long ones, assuming good road conditions.

5: Merge onto I-25 N / US-87 N toward CHEYENNE. 38.6 miles

6: Merge onto I-80 W via EXIT 8B toward LARAMIE. 388.6 miles

7: Merge onto I-84 W via EXIT 168 toward OGDEN. 763.5 miles

8: Merge onto I-205 N via EXIT 9 on the LEFT toward SEATTLE. 14.8 miles

9: Merge onto I-5 N. 96.2 miles

Yeah, that's the route I was looking at. Expedia gives a bit more detail, but it requires actual addresses...didn't want to post that for obvious reasons.

I'd worry more if it was going up through Montana, but I'd *hope* that wouldn't be horrible.

We did about six hundred miles a day on the way out here, or a bit over that. So really it'd be nicer to do it in three days, but I'm thinking since I'll be alone, I may push it if the road conditions are good.

I wonder most about the bits in Idaho and Oregon - that goes through some pretty mountainous areas, doesn't it?

It'd be nice if he just got in with a friend and rode off...I'm monitoring the news tonight.

Heh...reading the Alito thread. DU is sure funny at times like this...

That's a nice drive. If you can come through the Wasatch Range just east of Ogden as the sun sets over the lake, that's a treat for the eyes.

Too bad you couldn't run down to SLC and have a look in at Sam Weller's Zion Bookstore. I haven't been there, exploring the stacks in the basement (the "dungeon", old books) since 1978, alas...
