Although the proposed route is a long way for us, we'd like to join up somewhere. Just keep the info posted so we can plan ahead. We live just outside Salt Lake City and Pete Anderson's route through southern Idaho would work best for us. We'll probably drop by his place on the way anyhow, either going or returning.
Anyone taking either I-70 or I-80 west will probably be in our neighborhood and we'd be happy to have them join up with us. I drove from SLC to Santa Maria with Spanky and Bob Kerico in 2008 but had to make the return trip alone (do you know how lonely US 50 is across Nevada?) - not near as much fun as traveling in a convoy.
