Never drove my car "up there", but I'm in Reno every year for a week or so. High desert makes for some good "top end" runs..........to bad it will be 4400+ft elevation.
It will be way different for ya.....going form one of the most humid/sea level spots to a super dry/4400-ft spot.
Dang....Reno, so close to hell you can see Sparks...lol
I hope its not an elective move.....Reno can be rough and the local economy seems to be in the dumps.
They have a decent summer car scene (hot August nights).
The good thing is, its only 45min for Lake Tahoe....
...........lots of outdoor things to do.
Nearest track............http://airdensityonline.com/results/...nley%20Raceway
Or this one is a little further...........http://airdensityonline.com/results/...0Gun%20Raceway

Sweet, you will be only a few hours from Boise!
Edit: No, I do not think you will be able to drive from Houston to Reno this time of year with no issues. You can if you get lucky, but the weather can change fast and it can easily be 50* one day and 30* the next with 2 feet of snow, not to mention you will almost for sure have to go through a few mountain passes.

I believe it's going to be nice this week and next, you shouldn't have a problem.The 95 is in the valleys and will be nice and in the 60s.
The roads will be a little cold in the mornings but by 10 they're warmed up. Even it there is rain, the amount it rains is very little and I'm told does not compare to rain in Texas. If you do drive and take the 95 you can always take a detour and go up through Virginia City, that drive if very fun.

Got that lined up. Swapped the wheels on the jeep today so it would fit on a trailer. The packing has begun.
As for the Con and Moab, it will be in crawl mode soon
