Thanks for all the responses! Great info here! I used to live in Driggs/Victor/Tetonia, Idaho and used to work in Jackson Hole. That pass is 10% grade. You smelled brakes from everyone in front of you the whole way. That was 14 years ago though.
I don't have an aftermarket engine break. Please forgive my naivety here. Is engine breaking just putting it into lower gear? I'm glad to hear interstates are maxed out at 6%.
I think I'm just freaking myself out too. I am taking a month or so to do this trip, but hope I'm not white knuckles the whole way. I'm way worried about the winds through Kansas and will take the newest route through IO then over to SD.
How do you guys handles these winds and still drive over 55? I'm used to being one of the fastest on the road to now being the slowest.
Drove to Saint Augustine today and it took forever because of winds blowing me around.
Thanks again!
