Sacramento to Chicago in March on 80, HELP!
Hello,
I will be driving from Sacramento, CA to Chicago, leaving this weekend. I see that there is some snow forecasted for Tahoe and through Nevada, the day I leave, with strong winds near Cheyenne the day I pass through (Monday).
Anyone think the southern route on 40 would be worth the extra 6 hours?
I am driving a 4 dr Saturn Ion, not 4wd.
Any advice would be fabulous.
Thanks!
still mountains in the south
You'd really be dealing with just as many mountains by going south to I-40. You'll still have to cross a pass in southern california, and go through the mountains of Arizona and New Mexico.
Taking I-80, Tahoe will be your biggest obstical. Once you get over the Sierras, the trip through Utah and Wyoming will be cake.
Unless you've got a real good reason or strong desire to go to I-40, I would stick to I-80.
