Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
My oldest is going to drive a 16 foot truck rental truck from Seattle to Phoenix in early January. Towing a small car behind the truck.
I am concerned with road conditions for that trip. It's mainly snow and ice going over mountain passes. There seems to be several suggested routes:
1. I-5 through Washington, Oregon and California. Turn off towards Barstow and head to Arizona. The main issue I see with this route is going over the Sikskiyou pass which is steep and can be snow. That scares me.
2. Other routes go through Oregon, Idaho and cut down the West side of Utah into Arizona.
Any suggestions? The goal is to get to Phoenix safely and in one piece, not set any travel speed records. If you know these areas and routes or part of a route, I would appreciate your thoughts.
