this is my proposed route for the trip when i pick up the M35 next thursday from Boyce, Equipment. If yall see any problems (ie. steep/windy roads w/no guard rails, etc) let me know....I am open to suggestions/ideas for alternative routes.
ogden, UT -> spanish fork -> helpner and wellington -> green river -> moab -> monticello, UT -> cortez, CO -> hesperus, CO -> farmington, NM -> cuba, NM -> albuquerque ,NM-> amarillo, TX -> memphis, TX
mapquest and yahoo maps say appox 900-1000 miles.
To make math easy I am figuring 1000 miles and assuming a low MPG (7mpg) to budget for fuel. And Im assuming 3.00/gal for diesel (its higher up in the mtns I hear)
1000/7=142.65 X 3.00 = $428.57 Im planning for $500 (for the murphy factor) but that is only fuel money (not including hotel or food but Im going to add that in too)
