It's gonna be 2,000 miles to Seattle, I'll have a couple weeks of vacation to ski pow, and a brand new WRX to get me there.
In about ten days it'll be time to get the hell outta dodge and make some turns. Here's the deal. I need to get from Enid, Oklahoma to Seattle, WA in the shortest amount of time; all routes seem to run through Denver. Enid to Denver is about 600 miles, but where's the fastest route from there? Mapquest and yahoo have different opinions.
a) DEN->SLC->BOISE->SEA?
b) DEN->CHEYENNE->HELENA->SEA?
Anyone an expert on the Denver to Seattle run? How many hours? I know I'll be passing through some prime ski terrain but my gear's in Seattle so I'm not interested in anything except the fastest route home.
Also, I'm clueless when it comes to radar detection devices, are those things worth buying prior to a trip like this? If anyone owns one they're happy with, I'd love some advice.
It's been a while since I've been on the board, it was about a year ago I quit my job at Initech/Penitrode and began chasing some dreams. Spent a winter/spring skiing all over WA, BC, OR; followed by a month surfing/playing in Costa Rica, followed by six months here in Pensacola, Florida seeing if I've got what it takes to become a navy pilot. So far all signs point to yes. Can't wait to get home to Stevens Pass and Baker, I've never gone so long w/o seeing mountains. Looks like the PNW has had a slow start but it's nice to see the rest of the west is doing well for snow.
Thanks for any advice on this trip, it should be an adventure if nothing else.
