Here is the link to the ABC interview with Megan this morning.

Megan and I are still in Reno. One more TV show to do (in the morning) and then we will be driving back to Las Vegas via US-395.

Weather has been a tad brisk -- but beautiful. Some snow flurries,...

Wow! That was more complicated than I expected -- but thanks for the detail.

I tried to look this up -- but not sure I saw what you referenced mentioned in the post-race coverage. Perhaps a bit of narrative is needed here?

And here is a first look at some of the trees...

Yep, I actually managed to break the page for a bit. Getting daft in my old age. But, yep, the Santa's hat is on all pages now.

Dave: Did you notice the Santa's...

Oh, I forgot which way you were going -- reverse the directions on the previous posts to be going north!

Another road, that I really enjoyed is the "backroad" into Napa. Basically Hwy-12 to Glen Ellen and then take Trinity Road east to Dry Creek Road and then south to CA-29 in Napa and that way you can...

About three weeks ago, I drove three segments of the Avenue of the Giants. What is really cool about this road is that since it parallels US-101 -- you can jump off and on as you wish. This time of...

Happy Thanksgiving from Yosemite! Courtesy of the Yosemite Conservancy. November 23rd at 1231 pm PST.

If ever there was a city who is capable of figuring out the inside track--it is Las Vegas. Lots of teething issues arose this first time. But we're going to figure it out and next year will be...

That is a cool video! I tried to drive some of the route yesterday afternoon about 3 pm. Big mistake. It took me about 2 hours to go four miles -- Finally had to bail to the west on Spring...

Yeah, that is surprising. OK. I wonder if we we'll have a new dcTPP?

Well, need a new dart!

By the "rules" the soonest I can ping a new date would be 15 days from now.

So, for my second dart, I will claim December 8th at 8 am.

Gorgeous day in the high country of Yosemite!

The thing to remember in Winter, is that priority for plows, salt and crews goes to the Interstate Highways -- smaller roads are often the last to be plowed.

Personally, I prefer unplowed, smaller...

My additional add to the tips -- is to drive on Thanksgiving Day itself. And avoid that Sunday at all costs.

Thanks for the post!

Almost all of the snow has melted from the High Sierra Cam foreground this morning.

As a fellow weather geek, I am sure you can read weather maps. Here is the background for why I am recommending avoiding I-40 in January! Succinctly put, in January most of Arizona and southern...

Because going south will expose you to more snow and more ice, if the weather predictions are accurate this year.

January along I-80 will actually have less snow than either I-10 or I-40.

Mark

Traveling in January, especially this year, you are going to see snow as you make your way eastward.

I-40 will have snow and ice and so will parts of 1-10. There are no roads in the USA that...

Might well be the case.

Being in the airport doesn't really seem like it should count as being on a roadtrip to that state. If so, I would say that I have been to Hawaii -- but I never went beyond the airport tarmac on the...

I just looked and there is only about 1-2" of snow on the ground. And blue skies.

Best guess from the county engineer is that will have most of the roads open and back to "normal" by Christmas. Heavy forecast for closures on Sands Blvd and Harmon--they have to remove the k-rails...
