Hey, all I was trying to do was provide some factual underpinnings to the various route options in an attempt to short circuit any arguments based on which route is 400 feet shorter than another or has 4 more taco trucks along the way. And mostly it pointed out that iSm was wrong that the SIL route was horribly worse than his and that it is actually technically a little bit shorter.
All things being equal I gave my aesthetic preference (and it is generally easier on the car and easier on any motion sick-prone passengers, which is why I prefer 140 with Lani even when the other routes are completely fine). But all things probably won't be equal. That said if the climb out of the valley is something to be avoided then that may be an issue since it sounds like it will be done several times over the course of the weekend.
If I were actually going, though, I wouldn't do even as much work as I did above. I'd go, and if I got to a point I couldn't go any farther I'd turn around and try another way until I got there. And if I never got there I'd have had fun trying. Some day I'll be that stupid tourist that gets lost on a back country road and dies of exposure 400 feet from a town hidden behind a hillock.
