    Wyoming hasn't stopped being windy. Summer has nothing to do with the wind. If it's cloudy when he rolls through. He can gaurantee wind.

    Even the 287 can get pretty hairy. As it was the last time i took that road.

    Not really worried about it but when your hauling $1 million worth of crap you want to make sure you have a good route

    Now if it snowing when you get to Denver you might want to go either thru Wyoming or across 70 in Colorado depending on where the snow is,, Either route in the summer is good,, I have run 70 across Colorado many many times grossing over 130,000lbs . The grades thru Colorado and most western interstates are not really all that bad,,try some on some 2 lanes in the western states where the grades exceed 14% up and down the mountains with curves then it gets fun,,Or for more fun trt Hwy 6 over Loveland in the snow.
