Driving to Minden

Ok.. I've booked my flight, rental car, and hotel.

I'll be driving from SFO to Minden. Choices are 50 and 88.

thoughts? Looks to be about 4 and a half hours. Better than doing a 3 leg airline out there.

I think I would take 80

OK, it says an extra hour though. 5+36

worth it?

I go 50 to 89 to 88. You will miss the South Shore traffic, but check the WX this time of year! After a snow storm, they will clear 80 and 50 first.

Are you from Minot? If so, you know all about cold Wx..............spent 7 lovely years there, back in the day!

I think you might be thinking the other Minot. I live in Minot ME

What JJ said - unless there is snow (El Nino this year). Returning at the end of a weekend also can get you into bad traffic on the 2-lane part of 50 - in which case one of the alternates might be more reliable.

Going out on a thursday afternoon. back into sfo on a tuesday morning. noon flight I think it is. i'll be up early for sure.
