    It's actually a bit shorter to go ...29,90,34,212,90. AND you don't have to give Oregon their ridiculous per mile tax.

    Is it? When I run over there I usually run the way I go, running 29 up to 2 and 77,80 cuts off some miles...

    Only if you're willing to run 212. It's 30 shorter, or you can stay on 90 and it's 15 longer than the south way.

    44 makes the rez on 212 look like paradise! But it brings you to the J, unless you just want to go thru town. There's a bypass up there nowadays. :biggrin_255:

    Always run 212. Like 50 miles shorter. Just hate doing it at night, can't see where all the 4 legged terrorists (deer) are.

    Just got back from eating too much steak, baked potato, salad, strawberry sundea.....GEEEEEEEEZ that wind is like a knife! [Aurora T/A]

    Going up to Fife for 0630 delivery then up to Kent for my south load. Not liking the steep hill to get to the Kent location if there is any moisture it will be very hard and slick....might have to consider going around on 167....the traffic volume on that hill should have it non-icy!
