It is 12 miles longer but sometimes faster and it is a practical alternative until US 400 construction is completed. The "southern beltway" wasn't an option last September. But if speed is the most important criterion, I-70!Quote:

Thank you so much!.
I understand your worry about bedbugs. However, are these reports issued by the local health authorities in Hays or just by possibly disgruntled customers? I recently read through a lot of reviews for the lodging places in Hays for our own trip, and didn't find anything particularly troublesome. Of course, perhaps I was looking at other places than you were.
How about Colby, KS? Russell, KS?
I-70 is a beautiful drive through Kansas, if you don't mind rolling hills, golden wheat fields.
Watch for my road trip report. In about a month, we'll be going through Kansas and I'll make sure I annotate our overnight stay.

Thank you so much, Donna. I have seen some nice possibilities on AirBNB and am contemplating the very attractive Good Karma Dairy Airbnb just a bit outside Russell. I think I will probably book it but there are other Airbnb possibilities around Hays.Quote:
