    5 up to 15 then 40 from san diego.

    Dont know too much about that area. You have the Marines here, rich people there and illegals in between everything.

    I really enjoy running 8 but I agree 40 would be best.

    The problem with 8 is you get into 10 near Tuscon, then you still have to get north to 40. Above Phoenix you have a mountain range that is pretty formidable. If you went into Texas you will still have to go to roughly Weatherford split then Fort Worth and work up to Oklahoma city etc etc etc etc etc.

    40 is still the best route.
     
    Vic Firth Thanks this.
