Re: [RC] Trip info - Truman Prevatt

I-40 around Oklahoma City is the pits. You have to make sure you don't hit it at rush hour. I-40 across Arkansas the last and only time I came that had the worlds biggest potholes. I would suggest at some point getting up to I70 or down to I20 to avoid Oklahoma City and Arkansas.

When I have been going between Dallas TX and So. Calif. for the past 5 years, I have been using I-40. Did I-10 once, and just did not like the drive. 40 is much more scenic. Also, I now know the places I can stop with the horses along the way. BUT, 40 has more grades and pulls than 10. Both will have some grades at the CA border, but after that, not as much on 10, but 40 has some around Flagstaff, and then in NM. If you have a rig that does not pull the load (and stop the load) well, I'd consider 10. I'd guess you could still get some snow on 40, but the likelihood is pretty low. It might be cool, to colder at night, but maybe that would just prep the horses for Maryland. LOL Past Oklahoma City, heading east, I have not seen I-40, so no comment. But I find from there west, it is a good road.
