If they got up to the Continental Divide, and got up a good head of steam, maybe they could just slide on down to Seattle?

Albequerque, Phoenix, Palm Desert, San Diego, turn right at Guadelcanal Road. (I love my new Garmin Street Pilot.)

I would assume you are going north to Cheyenne then east on I-80 to Salt Lake City, then north on I-84. When you get to I-82 in Herminston, OR, don’t take it. It would be the logical way to go to Seattle via Snoqualmie Pass. Instead, stay on I-84 until you get to I-205 in Portland, then north to Seattle. This will take you through the Columbia Gorge. There are the possibility of ice storms in the Gorge which will make the driving conditions treacherous, but a lot less likely of happening than packed snow and ice on the mountain passes..

Thanks for the suggestions, folks (and DaveS, you're right, we'd be more comfortable coming by sea!!) The 747 is a good idea, but we'll need the truck to haul back all the loot we expect to win at the CDory dinner raffle!!
We'll be coming along the Columbia River Gorge and carry a brandy jug under the trucks bow -- (like those ol' Great Bernards) -- for survival rations -- looking forward to seeing all. that should hold us 'till we see those kegs from the brewers!!
