It's been a long time since I've posted, and unfortunately longer since I've done a long road trip. That's about to change, as I'll be driving from Oakland, CA to Long Island during the first or second week in March.

I'm obviously going to take I-80 on through Nevada and into Utah. From there, I'm considering taking a southern dip on I-15 and hooking up with I-70. I figure it's a more scenic route, and I'm even familiar with sections of it.

My question is this, and I ask the editor, other frequent travelers, and perhaps even those local to the specified areas... Is I-15 a risky road to take in early March? And how about the access roads to I-10 along the way...does anyone know about Hwy 28 south of Nephi? Hwy 50 between Scipio and Salina? I can get a sense of the temperature for that time of year, but is it particularly snowy?

Also, I know my straightest shot is right across 80, and as tempted as I am to just do that whole stretch of highway, I'm thinking that the drive on 70 will generally be more enjoyable. Does anyone disagree? I'll do some searches on this site for more info, but suggestions for particuarly scenic areas within a stones throw of the highway are also much appreciated.
