Highway 50 in the Spring?

I've been thinking about riding across the country again. This time, I want to do it a bit differently. I would like to go East on Highway 50, then West on Highway 20. I would envision that it will take about a month.

Some lessons learned about the last trip:
1. Have a trailer vehicle. This is for two reasons. One to carry a bike if you need it to. Secondly and in my opinion, more important. A way to carry all of the gear. Then, we can focus on riding.

2. Make sure that you have validated the checklists. There were too many things forgotten. I would like to know that we have everything.

3. Throw away the schedule. Ride for the fun of it with the understanding that if you run out of time - turn around!

Any takers in coming along?
