redrocky said:It depends on where you are coming from. I have driven from CA to STL/STL to CA five times now and I am about to make my sixth trip back next week. From Northen CA (from Sac) the best way is the 80 all the way and cut down to KC then take the 70 into STL. We drove to Park City (it took 9 hours or so), then drove 18 hours straight to KC, then KC is only 4 hours from STL. We did this with a 3 year old and a dog. From Southern CA (from Pasadena) 210 to the 15 to the 40 to the 44. It is a straight shot across nothingness. With a pregnant wife, a 3 year old, and my dog it took us 3 days. I drove it childless in 1.5 days but I could have made it one. This last trip we took a detour and went thru Denver (Vegas, then to So CA, then back up to Northern CA), I wouldn't recommend the Denver route. Travel safely. PM if you have any questions.
SIX TIMES?! You're crazy! I'm almost done with my first LA-Stl trip. I'm currently in Oklahoma City. The Gallup, NM to Oklahoma City, OK, stretch is brutal! The last 100 miles of each day was alwayst the toughest for some reason. Oh well, just 500 more miles tomorrow and I'm done! Woo hoo!
