Having recently been over Hwy-80, Donner Pass and the road construction near Reno twice, *DO NOT* go that way!!!!! The road conditions are terrible and the narrow lanes in the construction zone are a white knuckle experience or worse. Doug managed to rub his exhaust pipe on the bus up against the concrete barrier at one point. Add in the four to five mile backup before the construction zone as you move along at 5-10 MPH and consider what that will do to your mental health.
If you were going from where you are down Hwy-395 through Reno and then south, it would be fine. But don't take Hwy-80 from Santa Rosa through Donner Pass and east. Take one of the other routes over the Sierra's south of Hwy-80 (Markleville Hwy-89, Yosemite Hwy-108 or 120, etc.)
