Texas to Idaho

[L884593]

I'm speaking of US 82 that runs from Texarkana to almost Wichita Falls along the TX OK border. Take 80 out of LV to Mineola and up 69 to about Sherman.

82 has about 1% of the traffic that DFW has.

thank you so much

You didnt state what time of spring your traveling through Wyoming often times spring starts in May or even June or July.

Things to be well aware of when making your last minute departure is upcoming storms and wind which I’m sure doesn’t need to be stated but one thing to really be aware of on highway 80 as you Cross Wyoming is extremely high wind gusts Theres quite a bit of this area that boasts some of the highest average wind speed and gusts in the US and often they are not predicted or talked about that much.

I lived right next to a truck stop in Laramie and saw the results of the wind in this area often its just something to be extra aware of. Theres lots of great weather apps but the wind app would be something I would watch when traveling here. One trip from Casper to Salt Lake pulling a trailer with a car on it I hit a head wind that kept me from going over 50 MPH Literally didnt have enough HP to go faster and my fuel mileage dropped to about 4 MPG .
