RE: I 80

[Mark Nelson <mnelson@brls.com>]

Hi Bob!

I live in the Reno/Tahoe area, and have taken I-80 as far east as Salt
Lake City, and as far west as Sacramento.  East of the Sierras, there
are really no climbs to speak of whatsoever.  *Very* flat with 70 mph
speed limit.  This is an easy way to go.  As far as east of Salt Lake
City is concerned, I really don't know what it is like.  I would figure
that once you're past the Rockies, the road should be very flat all the
way to Reno. Like you, I have always taken I40.  BTW where in Tahoe are
you going to be?  I will be around Incline Village (North Shore, Nevada
side), and in the Reno and Carson areas as well.  Let me know if you
have any questions on where to go in Tahoe.

Best Regards,

Mark Nelson
