    So google is giving me several ways to go. Right now we are going through Amarillo over to Albuquerque , Utah, etc. We have gone round and round. I know it shows going up through Colorada, Wyoming ect. Anyone really knows the best and shortest route???

    I go I35, I35w to Ft Worth, US 287 to Amarillo then loop 335 back to US287 to I70 at Limon over to Denver I270 up I25 to Ft Collins, US 287 to Laramie I 80 to I84. Either I 84 to I5 at Portland to Seattle or I84 to I82 to I90 to Seattle, depending on where in the Seattle area I was going.

    I would take the blue route also. Forget Denver or anything with I-80 in it.

    This isifro google maps and I didn't go in depth with the route. But anything west of Denver and I-25 is the way to go.

    I’m gonna say a straight line. That’s what we were taught in school.

    Gotta go with 287. That’s where the cow trucks are. He will be there in no time.

    I’d personally just run 25 up to 90 and across. Difference in miles is negligible and 90 across Montana and Idaho is absolutely gorgeous. Never was a fan of 84 in Oregon or 82, slower route imo
