0 Marylander Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I'd take a trip like that in a heartbeat. Open roads, good music and a Vette -- what more could one want?!? Forgive me for not knowing my geography all that well, but could you swing through the mountains and hit Yosemite along the way? I haven't been out there in 20 years, but I remember how beautiful the country is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Memphis Senior Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Are you looking for a scenic route? Or fastest way to go? How much time do you have? Many things to consider. Interstate all the way, I-5 to I-10, would be about 850-900 miles. All your going to see on this route are taillights. A much nicer ride would be to go east to Yosemite, Mono Lake, then 395 south to Victorville, CA then 18 east Lucern Valley, 247 to Yucca Valley. From there you can go 62 west/south to I-10. Or take 62 east to Vidal Juction. From there you can go south on CA95 to I-10 or continue east to Parker, AZ. Then pick up AZ95 to AZ72 Vicksburg, AZ. Then south to I-10. Then east on I-10 to 85. South on 85 to I-8. East on I-8. I-8 joins I-10 about 75 miles or so west of Tucson. Going the second route would probably add 150-200 miles and a full day to the trip. IMO it's worth it.

0 70'sChevyGirl Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Nick, It sounds like you have been the scenic route a few times. That would also be my choice of routes...if I ever get to take that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been known to take 2 weeks or more to make the 2100 mile trip from Knoxville, TN (my summer home) to Palm Springs, CA.(my winter home) I once went from L.A. to Memphis and never got on an interstate. I've even been to beautiful downtown Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Also had my picture taken with the losers of the gunfight at the OK carrol.
