Made it to Montana 681 miles left. We will split this up due to the passes. I have great video I will post once we are complete. This will those that will be on 90 anytime soon.

Thanks MWM. After research that is what we decided and the article about the Wisconsin couple trapped in their car for 6 days helped sway the decision. 90 still has alot to see along the way as well.

Update: made it into Rapid City this evening. Trip is going great we will take the day off tomorrow to explore and rest up for the last 1150 miles. Looking for suggestions on our next leg. Rapid city...

We are heading out in the morning headed up to Indianapolis from Havelock NC. I know there are some storms up around that area but seems to be fine where we are headed. Any issues Im missing?

The Tiguan is Gas

I have been checking forecasts, and it appears that most of this trip is going to be in extreme temps. What outside of the normal precautions should I be preparing for? So far I have the below...

Great footage! Can't wait to experience it for myself. What camera did you use GoPro mounted to dashboard?

Great informative write up! We are getting excited, and pushing positive thoughts for nice weather during our journey.

@noFanofCB, yes I have been monitoring all the DOT sites just to get in the habit. I see SNOQ has been the one that has the most closures/issues. I will monitor it closely, and possible have to...

good morning wanted to keep this thread alive with some updates. We have the majority of our route planned with realistic stops, but we will do another draft when it gets closer to factor in...

Another question: During my research I am reading alot about the passes crossing in WA. Can someone break it down for me and at what point should I make my decision if I need to drop south or try...

Thanks for the good intel all.

Advice on tires. We have decided to take the Tiguan for this trip after a lot of research and advice on this forum. With that being said the tires are the original tires with about 30k miles are...

Can everyone share their favorite planning tools. Please include websites, apps, books, etc. Basically anything and everything you use when you sit down to plan your journey.

Moderator Note:...

Thanks again MW Mike. Pretty much anything outdoors and not far off the trip. I know it will be XTREMELY cold and we will have our dog so anything we can drive by and check out would be awesome.

Any recomendations on places to see along the 90 route?

Thanks MW! You bring up some great points. Do you recommend any sites or apps for weather tracking during a drive such as this?
