Thanks for the info. I was wondering about the google map estimates. I had figured the estimates were for automobiles traveling 65mph. I figure towing I'll be going probably no more than 55-60.
The drive up I-80 up to Truckee is kind of windy and uphill but it's much better than taking 50. Once past Donnor Lake as it heads downhill, there are a number of fast sweeping bends that I'm going to have to be very careful with. It's that way all the way to Verdi.
I figure once I get past Reno, it's much easier sailing.

One note about your time estimates;
From my experience it takes about 7 hours to get from Winnemucca to the Sacramento area when I'm towing my trailer. You will travel slower while towing than you expect. I have to add a couple of hours onto the Google maps estimates when towing my trailer.
