I may just go to Vegas. My problem is I have to bring my dog. I'm not a big fan of driving 600miles from one over populated area to another.

 

I got the same map on both. No matter, Ray and I have been talking about making this trip. I want to drop some ponies in some NaCl if I make that trip.

 

I'd load up MS streets and trips and find a few low density population spots in CA and try to link them together for a 1200 mile trip, then set out to do it in one day.

If I didn't have to work during the week I'd be up for joining you, that's just my idea of a good time.....

 

Wow google maps is really messed up, destination should be Wendover UT, the turn-off for the slat flats is from town in Wendover on the NV/UT border.


see if this is closer...

More like 530 miles, lots of time on the interstate but you could easily get your 1200 in a day that way.

 

stick it on the dyno, put a brick on the gas pedal and come back in a day or two.

 

1200 miles in one day is a badonka donk butt load o' driving.

 

TIme is money when it comes to a dyno. Well maybe not, I hear Gruppe-s has a dyno their not using. LOL

 

When you pick a location, go to the link button in the top right corner, right click, properties, highlight, copy, paste. It's the only way I can get it to work. Otherwise it goes to a default type of local.

 

Here you go, round trip from Hayward, 1199 miles, S&T says 25 hours, I think it can probably be done in 20, (averaging 60, Interstate no problem, Highway 1 ?????) but it would be a challenge.

 

WHOA Jacked up is right

NIce job. HWY 1 would be a problem. I like the route none the less. Hits a lot of area in NE CA I haven't been in.

 

Could you chart out the trip coming back on the 5. This might be doable.

 

Thing is, half of the state of Utah used to be under Lake Bonneville so there are "bonnevilles" all over the place.
The salt flats are only a small part of the old lake bed, and the only civilization within 100 miles is Wendover, so mapping programs should target Wendover.

Depending on what time of what day you hit it, averaging 60 on a lot of 1/101 is possible with a few shots where you can cruise comfortably at 80 or more.
But you are right that some sections (like Leggett to the coast) can only be done at 30-45 by most of us.

Coming back down 5/505 from Yreka loses you about 300 miles....

 

I can make that up by going to grab a beer at Rays and Back and forth to work. We're onto something here. Thanks.

 

lake trinity.

Up through redding, shasta, whisky lake. Really nice drive once you get up into the hills. Nice country. And on i5 you can make those miles up quick.
