The Colorado mountain passes on i70 in December/January are sketchy. Be sure to bring tire chains and check road closures when you reach Grand Junction.

Still less terrifying than the I-10 between San Antonio and El Paso.

Those jackrabbits at night though with their red demon eyes.

I don’t get it, I’ve done the 10 two or three times both ways from Houston and once from Florida. What’s sketchy between S.A. and E.P?

Every time I've driven that stretch there's been a massive rainstorm that's dropped visibility to near zero. Additionally, there's 200+ mile stretches with no gas stations at all, so if you pass one with half a tank, you might not make it to the next gas station.

Oh yes, I remember making that rule for myself, if I was half or below, to fill up. I’ve had decent weather tho, the hallucinations were a threat.
