be a MUCH prettier drive than 80 through Wyoming could ever hope to be.

 

Plus, I have no idea what time you'll be rolling through, but you could
certainly stop for lunch and we could get the party started a little
early! A "Certain Somebody" and I are both REALLY close to that area

Mapquest says take Hwy 80 West for ~800 miles with a wee stretch on

Hwy 280. It looks fairly direct, any comments on the pros and cons?
