stunts,
Thanks for the reply.
Actually we're taking the "northern route" which is I-35N to I-70W to I-15S, so we'll be going through Colorado, Utah, Nevada then California.
I've previously driven the "southern route" on I-40 going to & fro SD/Wichita & believe it or not it is 20 miles longer.
Plus my girlfriend has never spent much time in the western U.S. so we wanted a more scenic route.
I reside(d) in the Northeast section of Wichita right next to I-96. A couple of my friends are residents of Andover.
Pardon me if I insulted your home town/state by my "prairie purgatory" comment.
