I'm heading on a road trip from SO CA up the 15 to either the 70 or hwy 80 and ending up in Fort Collins CO. Anyone have any suggestions on stops I should make in between?

McDonalds for breakfast. Several of us on Lat G own the stock.

Hmm...

I-80 goes by Wendover (former air base for atomic bomb drop training flights) and the Bonneville Salt Flats. Otherwise it is rather uneventful...and windy. The wind on I-80 through Wyoming is crazy. Lots of trucks on this route as well. Nothing spectacular to see through most of it. Highest elevation is around 7500'.

I-15 to I-70 is probably a lot more scenic. It does go by Vegas and travels up the Salt Lake Valley a ways before heading east. Eastern Utah on I-70 looks like a moonscape with some pretty stunning desert vista and the longest (180 miles) stretch of Interstate without services. Moab may make nice few hour detour. Once in Colorado, it heads headlong into the Rockies and demos some pretty amazing engineering along Glenwood Canyon and the Eisenhower tunnel. Peak elevation will be around 13,000 ft and you'll drive by such famous ski resorts as Vail, Copper Mtn, and Loveland in addition to a host of victorian era mining towns.

You don't need my help with $$$ :)

I would if DG had a motor. I guess we could bolt the block up to the dyno for kicks :popcorn2:

Speedtech/St. George is on the way as well.

Yes I did plan on that as my first rest point.

They shouldn't be too hard to find. They're from a famous designer.

I personally love the drive thru Zion National Park. I go in thru the west entrance, thru the tunnel, and out the east gate. Amazing scenery not to be missed.

Had a great trip. I got a chance to stop by and see Blake on the way out. The shop is awesome. They are still getting settled in but it's looking good. The Black second gen is Beautiful. Blake Thanks for the time out of your day to tour me around.
