In... December? August?
I've done I-90, I-90/I-94, I-80/I-84 and several riffs. I-90 is my fave, cutting down US 395 from Ritzville (WA) to I-82/I-84 near the Tri-Cities. South Dakota is worth it all.
I-80 is like driving nails into your head boring. No idea why the mapping sites default to it, or to I-94, which is like crossing the Great Nefud in a Chevy.

Sorry I sounded snippy.
I-94 goes through the Twin Cities, and is very prone to traffic and construction delays that negate and then some any advantage that might have existed in the digital minds of Mapquest et al. I-80 goes through Des Moines and then across southern Wyoming - oy.
I-90 is fairly boring across southern Minnesota, but is much more interesting and quick from Sioux Falls west.

no worries,
you know your s..t, and sometimes for unknown reasons we all get little edgy....
Happy trails!
btw, do you still post on FT?
I tried looking few times but it seems to me that the forum moderators, especially JDiver, got what he wished for.... all the attention, but the forum lost it's best people, people that had inside info, people that knew what's going on.
