The Official WTF Thread

It appears that I-70 through Glenwood Canyon has been reopened, albeit at limited capacity. My guess is that they are using the two lanes of the lower (eastbound) road deck while they repair the upper deck. There is a 14-ft restriction (I assume vehicle length), which doesn't help the semis too much.

What's the estimated delay on that stretch of highway? I really don't want to travel through Wyoming.

It's only about a 20 mile stretch, so it shouldn't be too bad. I imagine they'll limit traffic to 40 MPH or so, but it really shouldn't delay you that much.

Are you going to Moab?

I thought it was Nineveh.

Salt Lake from Oklahoma. We're just visiting old friends, no big plans really. But would rather drive through Moab than Wyoming.

Why not take the scenic route through the Southern Utah and the Colorado Plateau?

Scenic route and two toddlers in a car do not make for pleasant experiences. It's 16 hours total driving without delays. That's 16 hours. With toddlers.

The Donner Party trail should be pretty well traveled by now.
