emeth Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Has anyone come across a travel publication similar to Good Sam's 'Exit Now', that is current? Unfortunately, 'Next Exit' does not offer any major state, secondary road information. Planning a trip from AZ to WA through NV, (Routes 93, 95).

SWharton Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Exit Now is no longer published. I don't think there is any publication that covers the secondary roads. Look at traveling secondary roads as part of the adventure. What are you looking for in particular??? If you are worried about low bridges or whether the road is OK for your rig get a copy of the Truckers Atlas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we have an older Truckers Atlas but we just wanted to be as familiar with Routs 93 and 95 in Nevada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobi and Dick McKee Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I Exit is a guide to exits on interstate highways. No it is not in book form, and next exit went away about 3 tears ago. Most items like that are going digital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobi and Dick McKee Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 We lived in Las Vegas for 35 years and I am very family with both 93 and 95. You realize they go in two different directions from Vegas. 95 goes up the west side of the state from Vegas to Reno and 93 goes north east out of Vegas and up the eastern side of the state. Both good roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be heading up the 93 from Kingman AZ, picking up the 95 in Vegas, run it up to Reno, hit I 80 to the 95 again and north to the 84, then the 84 NE to Portland OR, then the I 5 N to WA.

SWharton Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I guess I am confused. Initially, you asked about secondary roads and referenced 93 and 95 which I assumed were state hwys. In some following posts I93 and I95 are referenced, I interpret that as Interstate, not a secondary road. What services are you looking for and on what type of hwy? Other than Google Maps I don't know of anything that covers secondary roads and Google Maps doesn't cover them very well for Rvers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandie & Jim Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 We travel both 93 and 95 all the time. Other than there not being much traffic I love driving both roads. I love the desert landscape of Nevada. Sandie & Jim Dixon Traveling with Scooter and Skittlez www.wherearethedixonstoday.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although s/he didn't use the designator "US," s/he did mention Nevada. 13 hours ago, emeth said: Has anyone traveled I 93 and I 95 through NV recently? We drive both every year...one down to AZ in the winter, the other north in the spring. Both are good roads; in fact, most of the paved roads in NV are good.
