were thinking of leaving monday early to amarillo or as far as we can, then next day to frisco. is there an advantage to the kansas route?
Flatter route , less traffic are only 2 things about the Kansas route. Sometimes I-25 is bumper to bumper from Raton all the way to Denver. Especially during summer. 385 from Hartley to Raton is really bad sometimes. More for long stretches of slow traffic. They have been widening it the last few years, but still some long streches of 2 lane. Some of the engineers I worked with used to travel the Kansas route just to break things up.
