How many tolls on roads to Moab from CT?

Yeah, it would be a shame to drive through Monument Valley at night.

You could leave Moab Saturday morning and drive to the Grand Canyon. No need to stay in Blanding. And if possible, take a little side trip to Sedona, which is just south of Flagstaff.

Hell if you all are into camping you are more than welcome to camp under a tree in our 2.5 acres just east of Flagstaff, We will even let a take a shower in the morning

Thanks for the offer, it sounds great. If I could bring my camping gear I would take you up on it. As our 12,000+ mile round trip involves two international sea crossings, our Jeeps are not allowed to be packed with any cargo in or out of the USA. Expedition cargo has to be freighted separately to keep the customs people happy. Everything else I need I have to either buy in the USA (and leave behind) or bring it with me as luggage on my flights. I will be treading a fine line with some of my 'bolted down' and 'stowed' recovery gear and spares under the basis that every vehicle is usually equipped with a jack, some tools and a spare wheel and tire.
 
I know for a fact there are no tolls past Chicago. On I-80 there is one $0.35 booth you need to toss some change into, but thats it. I think Ohio is about $7-8 (could have changed, I havent driven it in a while) and Penn shouldnt be more than $15. East of that I really dont know, Total shouldnt be more than $40. (Indiana is in there too and I think CT has toll)
 
Uh..... depends on what route you take west of Chicago. I-88 is a toll road to Iowa.

You'll spend about $5 going through Illinois on 88. If you have an I-Pass or east coast equivalent (easy pass?) transponder you'll pay less and if you're lucky save a few minutes.

If you go through the southern part of the state you may not pay any tolls at all.

I would really try to avoid going the northern Indiana past Chicago close to the lake route. traffic always blows, especially in the summer, and you'll hit more toll roads. the farther you are away from the city the faster you can go and the cheaper it'll be. same probably goes for most other big cities.
