    Not going that far east, or that's the route I'd take. Deliver Tuesday morning to Denver. It might turn into 90/25, so either 50 or 70 miles out of route depending on what the forecasts for those areas look like in the morning.

    Good news is I'll be 43k with this load, it was the best load I could get out of Seattle area for the weekend.

    I would look at running @Cattleman84's route but break south on I25 at Casper.

    I'm definitely not ruling it out, and that extra hour-2 is better than sitting all day on 80.

    I just sat for 2 days in Laramie... What started out as a light load delayed by wind turned into a 44 hr delay... Most of the time was spent waiting for a complete closure to be lifted, wind was no longer a factor.

    Yup, my longest delay out that way was 36 hours on location south of the Crescent Junction exit. Every camera showed good/moderate roads between us and our relief in Rawlins. There's a great place there called Bucks that makes a burger to kill you. The buns are grilled cheese sandwiches with a fried egg in them, then 2 ¼ patties.

    Dang that sounds almost good enough to justify a road trip. Or at least attempt a recreation in the kitchen.

    You can look up Bucks Rawlins,WY and see their menu. It might be more readable on a laptop than on my phone.
