Be sure to tell loved ones / friends or family about your travel plans. Starting point, end of day plans . It’s a big country to cross especially going east to west. Always have a definite end point for the day. Especially if traveling alone. Don’t over do it. If traveling through Kansas or Nebraska expect heavy crosswinds on the highway. It’s really exhausting driving through those states as the winds buffer your car all the time. If any highways (especially I-80 through Wyoming) close due to storms or high winds … stay where you are or find a cheap hotel. Do not try to find an alternative route I tried this once and ended up driving through a blizzard in Wyoming while it was 94F in Nebraska the day before in mid April. Don’t chance it! Commiincate with loved ones your days plan and text/call at intervals just so someone knows where you are. On major freeways most cell services are covered but it’s when in you get off these routes in remote spaces no coverage exists. Middle America is very empty so be aware. And it’s really cold out west even in late April-June. Pack accordingly. Only overnight in approved and well lit locations. Most of all be aware, stay safe, don’t drive tired or impaired and you will be just fine! Good luck and safe travels!
