There are portions of I70 between Indy and Ohio that are bad. Last time they had signs up but just watch out for the pot holes.

Last time I rode I-80 DesMoines, IA almost all the way to the PA/OH boarder, (it was only in August) Iowa was fine. It is my favorite part of the drive.
I take that route all the time to and from school to home.

Instead of a short wheelbase jeep try it in a tractor pulling a trailer. The two are never in sink from one expansion joint to the next.

Been there, done that...sorta. A long wheelbase will take out some of the bumps though, not make it worse. We took a single axle dump (10 tonner) and tag-along trailer to IA and back. Did just fine.

Yeah, an MV will be worse, but I believe there were rougher spots, like Illinois, Indiana, Western Ohio, etc. Iowa isn't that bad. It even has less construction than the others. Trust me.

2600 mile recovery moved ahead till this monday

So I got a call that I lost my job last night. So back to the ice roads I go. I have a week or 2 off before I start there So I'm hoping on a plane monday morning to grab the truck. Will be doing this solo. Sleeping in the truck to save money. If there's anyone along the way that wouldn't mind helping out this crazy Canadian if I run into trouble It would be greatly appreciated.

A route or destination would be helpful, or would you like every member in every state to be on the look out for you?

Maybe you can get video of this epic road trip.
