For my east coast friends that might make the trip in the future here?s a few tips:
Make sure your truck and trailer are 1000% ready for the trip. At times your on the road for hours with no service stations or rest stops. Take your time. Pack food and water just in case. The northern route in Oregon is barren. The southern route in Oregon towards Nevada is white knuckle driving. Narrow mountain passes that are steep and winding with no guardrails. If driving a gas truck bring extra fuel for it. I went by myself. I would suggest a crew of 3. Driver and passenger and the guy in the back could sleep.
The event is great. The hospitality is over the top. Will I do the drive again? Absolutely!!!
