Driving from San Francisco to Maryland in 14' stang

[Canktm25]

On January 17 I'm flying first class to San Francisco to meet up with my step son who is in the Navy We are going to drive across country to his new assignment in Maryland.

We will be taking turns driving his Race Red '14 Mustang V6 6 speed across this great country (2900 miles) I'm thinking we will take route 40 through Flagstaff and then maybe south from there into central Texas. Our plan is to stay away from the colder temps once away from flagstaff.

With my 2015 Mustang GT PP stored for the winter this will be a welcome break from the Vermont cold . If you see a red stang with a loud pypes exhaust with NY plates that's probably us

Always been a dream to drive cross country.

Give a shout if you go through Dallas!

Always loved the coast-to-coast drives when I was in the Navy.

I'd be careful taking 40. Lots of snow lately up around Flag lately it seems.

If you want to go south, head through Tucson and visit the Air Force boneyard on the way by if you've never been, amazing place.

Then go through San Antonio and dine on the riverwalk and visit the Alamo (just take off your hat...)

Just made that run last summer and had a blast!! I stuck to Route 50 for most of the way out and then went south through the top of Texas for the way back. Epic road trip, you will have a blast! Drove up Pikes Peak, went flat out at Bonneville, drove down Lombard Street.

Totally agree with the south route. Done a few spring time drives from Arizona north in Mustangs and snow is not fun on factory tires. Take the long route south and enjoy the weather along the south side, don't tempt the snow.

Drive safe and enjoy!

Ditto the southern route (even getting out of California would be tricky if you went via Interstate 80 through Reno and beyond). Suggest head down Southern California via Interstate 5 through Bakersfield onto Interstate 10 until past El Paso and then curl up to Interstate 20, avoiding anything North of Interstate 40 until east of the Mississippi this time of year. You can then judge the weather and conditions and ease up to Interstate 70 and 68 through the West Virginia panhandle into Maryland straight into Baltimore and the DC region.
