    Thank you. Be safe going out to Oregon. Check the weather and road conditions across Wyoming, also check the conditions in Oregon for Ladd Canyon just before Baker City, Meachem and Cabbage mountain. Any questions just ask.

    What a great day I had today. I got a good 9 hours sleep last night, woke up and had breakfast, took a shower and sat in my recliner all day and watched tv, played on my iPad, and ate all day.

    Thanks and I hope my first coast to coast solo drive will be very UNeventful

    As to checking weather, I have been spot checking the weather in cities along my intended route and most seem to be getting some precipitation but also all seem to be above freezing during the days... Hoping that means that if I stick to day time drives I should be ok.... BUT...

    Also being my first trip to the NW, I am certainly open to suggestions and input as I am sure I could be missing something.

    Stay Safe, as I hope to,
    MD

    But, taking a suggestion from JohnBoy, does look as if I will be seeing a few inches of snow in the last half of the trip.

    And speaking of checking the weather... What do you all use? I have a couple Weather Apps but that mainly gives you either the big picture of a system as it crosses the nation or details of "a city".... So I just been using them to spot check different locations.

    Would be awesome to find a weather app that one could load your whole route and an estimate of when you would hit which cities... Then it could give you an estimate of what the weather will be for when you get there... Along with alerts for anything popping up along the route... Like they can do for a city but not so great for a moving target with a timetable.

    This is a life saver for me. Each state is a link to their road conditions. Wyoming, Colorado California, Washington and Oregon all have live camera feeds.
