Just a quick meetoo, 'beware the Jabberwoki my son'
add-on to Eric, the Salty One's good advice.

Getting past Sack-a-Tomatoes and over the Mountains is
relatively easy, passing Reno/Sparks and out into the
desert is where the fun begins. Smokey lies in wait
out about 3/4 of the way across Nevada. 

Watch what the truck convoys are doing and you'll be
OK, or do what I did (_avg_ 90 mph) and not make it to
Cincy at all.

it was fun while it lasted.
