I am driving from Wisconsin to Portland Oregon at the end of April. I am terrified of heights! Even the hills in Portland, bridges, and very high overpasses gives me anxiety!
I am wondering whats the best way to get through the Rocky Mountains (I-90 through Montana/Idaho panhandle??), and if its very steep and scary with small roads, or what??
Anyone have pictures of the Interstate roads there, and/or personal experience stories with driving through the Rockies on I-90?
Also, will there be ice or snow up there at the end of April?

* Only people who have actual experience in actually driving over the Rockies via I-90 should answer please.

Peedlepup, why do you say living in OR is going to be so much different than WI? I have been to Portland many times and its almost identical to Madison, only bigger. Tons of people from Madison relocate to Portland. Whats so different about it to be prepared for??
I dont have my moving settled yet. I have no idea how i'm going to get my stuff moved. Can you give me the names of some professional moving companies you mentioned? I am not going to rent a UHaul because that is $1200 for the smallest truck PLUS gas -- and I dont have nearly enough stuff to fit in a UHaul. I only have a few larger items, and some boxes. I would have no idea how much my stuff weighs. I dont know how to get it moved.

You'll be just fine. You're on Interstate highways with reasonably gentle grades, and no really sharp curves.
Did you get your moving arrangements settled yet? If you only have a few things that need to be moved, a professional moving company will charge you by the weight of your items.
If you choose to use a professional moving company, you can find them listed in your telephone Yellow Pages under "Movers - Local & Long Distance". Call one and get an estimate. (Atlas, Allied, Bekins, Mayflower, North American, etc)
