Do you have Triple A? They make really awesome maps and if you tell them Point A and Point B they'll print out a handy little flip book with turn by turn directions and section of the map to go with it. My mom had one made for me when I left for Colorado. Didn't need to too much since it was a pretty straight shot, but actually I stopped before the worst pass for food and called the road conditions line. I marked on my map where it was supposed to be bad, where it was blowing, etc so I had an idea.
