    You might be okay taking 90, supposed to be a real #### show across south dakota for the next day or two, hope you've got an extra day to burn.

    WA sucks as far as highway maintenance. ########### dont plow Snoqualmie, they'd rather shut it down when bunch of cars pile up together. ID is little better. Montana is much better compared to WA or ID imo. Ive been doing it 4 winters now, just take it slow. if you dont feel safe-park it. Tell them youll deliver it later rather than never.

    Stop watching the weather channel. Just pretend it is going to be warm and sunny.

    I always thought Montana was the worst. They don't seem to use any material. It just gets compacted in to a beat up road until it melts.

    Thumbs down. I don’t want to do the nasty in South Dakota. So I’m rolling the dice and choosing 80.
