Wyoming 85/270 and 387/59

Hwy 85 is fine all the way, as is Hwy 59. 387 is getting a little rough in spots, otherwise a good road. I usually turn off of 387 onto Hwy 50 and take that into Gillette. The road isn't better, but there's less traffic and it's a little shorter. It leads directly to Gillette's west interchange with I-90.

I use the 387/59 route frequently going north and south, and its all good roads. Some days you'll run into some large truck traffic at certain hours, but lots of places to pass.
Wy 85 is also good all the way from Newcastle to Cheyenne. I've never used 270 its more of a tertiary road.
One caution in that area of Wy during summer months, is watch out for the many antelope grazing back and forth along the highways.

thanks Jim. Been many years since we were in Wyoming so I thought I would inquire here.
