US Northwest Treasure Valley Overland Expo PNW

10am departure sounds good to me. I'll roll in with a full tank anyways. Although..... I just remembered that exit 29 is currently closed.

So, we have two options.

You can take the karcher exit (exit 33), and head left at the light, and take that all the way to the flying J. The on ramp at exit 29 is also closed, but we could head I to town, and I could get us back on the freeway (takes probably 10 mins, max).

The other option is there's a Stinker store off exit 13 we could meet at. Either way, I'm good. There would be more room at the flying J.

Should be open in two weeks. That is my normal route to work every day so ill keep an eye on it and we can change it if need be. They have been real quick getting the on/off ramps back open with the construction.

That's my exit as well.

84 west onramp is open for exit 29. Looks like the offramp should be open the 6th from what I heard.

I'll verify this tonight on my way home from work.

Just an FYI, I-84 has been closing down near Ontario the past few days due to a wild land fire near Vale, Oregon.
It sounds like it’s under control now.

Also, exit 29 from wb i84 is most definitely still closed.

I heard it supposed to be open tomorrow... of course it will probably take longer since we want it to open. Is the onramp westbound still open there?

It appears to be, yes. It's just the westbound off ramp and eastbound on ramp.

Also, reminder to the group. We need to be onsite before 6pm, as they won't be letting anybody in after 6. Now, we'll get an extra hour on the way there, since we change time zones. Just wanted to remind everyone.
