Agree, far better road wise. Weed to Medford can be nasty in the winter. On another note the reason I like 93 is I traveled from Yakima. Easy for me to hit I-84 from I-82 then south to PostFalls then south on the 93. 93 for the most part is nice road, not traveled as much by the big trucks. From Vegas it’s easy to run up the 93 to I-84 then on to Portland. Of course, again, not the best route in the winter. Really have to watch the weather. Those Sierra Nevada storms move real fast. Same holds true for the storms off the Rockies.

Thanks all!
They left 9:30am and are on their way. Have a hotel outside Reno tonight then finish off the rest tomorrow.
