hi everyone,

i'm driving from boston to san jose, california during the first 2 weeks of november. i have to stop in pittsburgh and kansas city along the way.

my main question concerns the route from kc to northern california. i've gone west to east before, through denver. i'd love to go through the rockies again, especially because i have a place to stay in denver, but i am very concerned about the weather in november, and i will also be pulling a u-haul trailer, so this seems like a bad idea.

can anyone give me some ideas on fast, easy-to-drive (with a trailer) routes around the rockies - from kc to northern cali? i'll be leaving kc on nov. 12th, and i'd like to be in san jose by the 16th. i am not too concerned about scenery (i've seen a lot of the area before on various road trips), more about speed and safety (again, because of the trailer). or, if you think i could make it through denver, i'd like to hear about that, too.

i know in general i will have to head south, but i don't want to head too far south, as this will take more time, and my destination is up north anyway.

i would really appreciate any input on this matter! if you'd like to email me directly, my addy is sonsi@attbi.com.

thanks so much,

sonsi
