    Where are you going? Sounds like Google is routing the fastest way. Wyoming 511 shows all good.

    To Minnesota and similar areas lots of routing software will route Rawlins up through Casper and Lusk and beyond. It's not really out of line.

    major storm heading in for next 2 days, you still about a day out but look at other routes, spring storms can be real nasty, Colorado is in on it to.

    Look rather uneventful and relatively quiet to me although I haven't looked at the potential winds situation.

    I don't understand why guys dont carry chains year round if they are going to run anywhere near the central rockies and northwest.

    Weigh probably 200 or 300 pounds
    Not legally required
    Can generally wait til sun comes up. Easier to dodge storm.
