    WY is fine if the weather (snow or winds) are OK.

    And that is an even more beautiful trip across 90 than 80/90 to Seattle.

    You're right. I have run an empty tanker across Wyoming several times when they have it posted for no light vehicles. Take it slower than normal and you shouldn't have any issues.
