has information on construction on I-80 on the California side. There are times when all eastbound or westbound lanes will be closed. Click on the map on the front page or click on 'Travel Info' for more information. You may sign up for email updates so that you can check details from your cell phone when you have cell access (Reno on your way back, for example).

I like the scenic route up Feather River Canyon from Oroville to Quincy, then over Beckworth to 395, then south to Reno. Often in winter when higher Donner Pass is closed, I can get through lower Beckworth Pass. It's about the same driving time from where I live.

Not in summer so much, unless you get a weird wreck in one of the construction areas.

I-80 has been closed this past week for blowing snow. If that happens in summer, we have bigger problems.

It may be kind of fun though. Snowball fights at BRC!!!

Maybe I only think that's fun cause I'm from New Hampshire, I'm sure there's be plenty of cold miserable people...

Absolutely! Word has it that the "Ranch" in Battle Mountain will be closed the week before Burning Man and not reopen until Sept 11th. This is tragic.

I used to go camping on the Feather River. The drive is absolutely beautiful!
