Driving Across the U.S.

Hello,

I am preparing to drive across the United States, starting in a couple
of weeks. I'm driving from Los Angeles and will eventually end up in
New York, and then I'm coming back.

I was thinking about shooting up I-15 up to Salt Lake City, and then
taking I-80 east out to Chicago or so. However, I heard that it might
not be a good idea at this time of year due to weather (snow).

After that, I'd wander through the South for awhile.

Any thoughts on weather conditions preventing travel at this time of
year?

Thanks,
Michael

Check local conditions before setting out and be prepared
to divert if necessary, however if you make the trip before December
you should be OK. I-80 is probably the best of the northern routes

In addition to snow, I80 across Wyoming can be subject to very high
winds.

Just keep yourself informed and be careful.

Let the music be your guide. From the coast to the midwest, get your
kicks on Route 66. Even if you don't follow the original 2 lane
alignments, you can check out pieces of it as you travel the parallel
interstates. It's the original connection from Chicago to LA, and still
the only highway where the journey is the destination. Besides, you'll
cross the mountains relatively far south, so you're less likely to have
snow problems.

From Chicago south, there are two routes to consider. One is U.S. Highway
41, mentioned in the Allman Bros. hit "Ramblin' Man," which links Chicago
with Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. The other is more of a train route,
really--it's the route of The City of New Orleans, the Illinois Central
route from New Orleans to Chicago via Memphis, the route of the great
northern migration of African Americans. By car, you'll have to piece
together the route, which will likely include stretches of Hwy 41
mentioned above. You'll also hit Highway 51, which runs through Memphis,
where part of it was later renamed Elvis Presley Boulevard, and Highway
61, the route of the blues that gave its name to a Bob Dylan album.

The first time I ever drove acros Wyoming on I-80 (in summer,
thankfully) I was amazed at the size of the snow fences along
some of the highway (as well as the number of pronghorn seeking
shelter behind them).

And the traffic signals installed to close the highway.
