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.

I usually take 1 3/4 days leaving at 7:00 AM from Bend to get to Las Vegas, there driving another 300 to 400 more miles so if they get it done in 2 days there doing good IMO up
On the way back from the races in Las Vegas I usually get started around 9:00 AM to miss the local morning traffic and stay in either Hawthorne, NV, Reno NV or Susanville, CA depending on how fast I can get to there in whistling devil
AKA aside I keep it below 80 MPH now towing the trailer due to those dang trailer tires not living long at high speeds above 80 MPH whiney

I had some work done on my current car trailer at the Pace Factory in Hurricane,UT, several years back after the MATS races in Las Vgeas. I left there and drove north on the 15 to Cedar City then took a Utah highway west to the NV #93, and then north to Ely, NV to go west to Fallon, NV and then home to OR I was looking for strange creatures and weird flying objects all the way to Ely on the 93 whistling grin
For those that don't know eastern NV,Groom Lake, area 51 is a little west of the 93 between the 15 and Ely, NV. A lot of that area is restricted to nonmilitary aircraft from flying through that area also work grin

Drove it one time at night. After riding up that long grade outside of Ely you could see the lights from aircraft flying in and out of Groom Lake. Some of the lights didn’t look quite right moving quickly across the sky.

It should be a peaceful and scenic ride, especially going down Hwy 395. Tell them to watch for herds of elk, especially at night! Safe travels!

They did make it w/o issue EXCEPT near Newport when a guy doing 20 under the limit decided to "race" my daughter when she went to overtake him. Hung her out in the other lane with traffic coming. Fortunately she squeezed in front of him w/o hitting. Her BF called her and said "what's up with that move" as he was behind her. She let him know the dude sped up as she was passing and wasn't allowing her back in!

Me thinks the "secret" would be flown at night with no lights like the Air Force did around AFB plant #42 and Edwards AFB work shruggy
I've heard more than one person talk about being outside at night in Boron, North Edwards,Mojave and other places close the Edwards AFB base hearing low flying things at night with no lights work

Most likely on moonless nights

Several years ago a member on the race forum who worked at Edwards gave my wife and I a tour of the Edwards flightline. Saw all kinds of cool stuff, UAVs, F35s, B2. Actually went over to their aircraft boneyard adjacent to where the B2 hanger is located. Lots of cameras. It was actually funny that he was driving my 07 2500. I’ll bet the guys monitoring the cameras were wondering what this civilian truck with Arizona plates was doing. I’m sure he made prior arrangements. What impressed me the most was looking at the history of the place. Chuck Yeager, Space Shuttle etc. very impressive place. Thanks again Mike for the cool tour.

They took the right at Susanville direction.

Another nice thing is here BF wouldn't allow her to touch the gas handles and opened doors so she didn't have to.

I'm glad the trip went well up
The road form Susanville to Klamath Falls is really pretty and scenic but not well travel in the fall, winter and early spring, which is good IMO thumbs
Their are reasons for one of Oregon motto which is Keep Oregon, especially Portland, weird work whistling
There are some weirdo whacko on the streets here in Oregon instead of being taken care in special institution to protect them and us shruggy
