I will be leaving with a friend of mine at the end of the Month to move out to Pheonix (actually tempe, but its right there) Arizona. I got a triptix from AAA and the route sends me through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, then down on I-70 to meet I-40 in Oklahoma City. I thought about going down through Virginia (I have a friend that I could probalby spend a night with there) to pick up I-40 in Tennessee and take that the whole way out. My thinking was that there would be less to worry about with winter storms farther south. However, from what I have been reading on this message board it doesnt sound like people have too many positive things to say about I-40 in the winter. Any advice/past experiences with different routes out west are appreciated. Also, can anyone recommend places to stop, see and stay at on the trip out? Thanks in advance.
