which is the best way to head cross country, 80 through salt lake, nebraska ect or on 70 through denver, kansas city, st louis

 

I've taken both routes in the past to get to VA and to see people along the way. This time of the year I think the main thing that would aid you in your choice would have to be the weather. The higher elevation are most likely to have been hit with snow. So prior to embarking on your trip I would see which is clearer.

When I moved to Seattle from St. Louis I drove 2x in one month hwy 70 to Vail then north to Park City Utah then over to Seattle

 

doesn't I-90 run east with one stop light to Chicago? Why not that route? I don't know I always try those airplane thingy's. Isn't Ohio just past east past Illinois?

 

No one knows where Ohio is. (Kidding, H20)

I would take 80 or 90. 70 is going to be way out of the way, but is a pretty fun drive from Grand Junction to Denver.

 

That's not true at all. I bought a car last year from Cleveland. I had to tell the trucking company where it was though

 

Totally depends on the time of year. As a former military guy, (i'm still a guy, BTW) I have been across the country a bunch. Different route nearly every time. I drove the Lotus across (GA to WA) in December. I took I-10 to I-5 and even stopped at Cars and Coffee along the way.

Let us know what time of year and we can be more help. Also, the type of car might matter.

As a Subie with Blizzaks probably won't care what you put it through.

 

i am picking up a cayenne turbo in oregon and driving back to columbus ohio i ordered pirelli snows so hopefully i wont run it off the road.

 

Just get a good radar detector and go whichever way looks the most fun

 

^^^ Agreed.
