I've heard many horror stories about GPS navigation systems suggesting routings that get them lost or stuck tsk Especially up here in Oregon in the winters.
Same thing down there in the summers on trips off the main highways in the deserts and mountains tsk


You mean the former Lake Isabella? It looks like Lake Mead even worse, not much water left out there besides all the damn snow! You think it would melt and fill the lakes! As Frankie said, I generally do live in an alternate dimension...LOL! I hope I can climb I-17 and head east quickly today, only 2500 miles left to get home... panic


Take the Southern route. We traveled back & forth between Detroit & Phoenix from 1984-1992 - at all times of the year. Phoenix, thru Tucson, out through Bensen AZ, across the bottom of NM & into El Paso, then 10 & 20 all across TX., around DFW, then out through Texarkana. Through Little Rock & up to Blytheville, through the boot heel of MO, up through Illinois, etc. You'd have to modify a little to get to TN. A little longer, but WAY safer if no snow & ice! Good luck.


Been on every route possible to Phoenix when I worked for a major car collector for 5 years toting his stuff around. I just got done with 35 straight hours, I did have an hour in a Walmart parking lot in Memphis. I-40 was a sheet of ice from OK City to Memphis, I decided to keep going as I know what happens when traffic starts back up the day after an ice storm in Arkansas and Oklahoma! Probably half the journey was at 40 MPH on I-40 ! eek

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
