If you go down to I-80, consider just staying on it -- it's a pretty good
road all the way across, and it doesn't go that far north of I-70.
When you get close, you can pick up I-76 just before leaving Ohio -- that
cuts pretty handily through Pennsylvania, a little north of Pittsburgh and
right into Philidelphia, and was also a pretty decent road last time I drove
it.
The only difficult part of I-80 is coming right out of Sacramento -- if it's
snowing in Donner Pass, you'll need chains (the CHP actually posts
checkpoints if the weather goes to hell). Crossing the Rockies, though,
it's all high plateau across southern Wyoming, rather than the steep passes
you go through on I-90. The other pitfall is that it's the most boring
highway in the U.S..... :)
