Yeah - I don't think you can take the express toll lanes in CA without a transponder.

 

Yo dude - here's the route I took coming and going (By the way, "Kum & Go" is my favorite company name I encountered during my trip . . . who cam up with that one ans how does it survive in the bible belt?)

Anyway I took the 44 to OKC, then around OKC and down to the 40
then the 40 all the way into Cali
Connect with the 15,
to the 210,

you'll probably not do the 210 thing as you're going further south into Huntington Beach.

Just know that along the 44 and a good number of times on the 40 you'll encounter construction sites where the opposing two lanes are merged into one lane each way so you'll drop from 75 MPH to 50-55 so, depending on the time, it will slow you down a bit. You will encounter these all the way to AZ.

Also be aware that on the 44 the cops have radar and use it!!! And then in OK, between OKC and the Texas border I encountered a lot of radar use.

Once you get to Barstow (15) it becomes 4 lanes and the traffic starts and you'll be in traffic all the way from Barstow to the OC.

Be careful. If you get tired, pull over. I went from KS to Albubqueque, spent the night in Albuquerque and then drove to Lost Angeles. Be safe and let us know when you arrive.

Take care

 

Yes you can. They've got the normal pay lanes for those of us who don't have a Fastrack.

And Kobi, I will be limited to 75MPH in my truck. 75MPH = 2000 RPM = 16.5 MPG. Any speed over that and I get 13 MPG. Also, I'll be wanting to get to the 405 without hitting a million and a half toll roads in Cali... So 44 to 40 to 15 to...?

 

210 W. And don't hit any CA freeway at 3 to 6pm, When you get down by the 405 is will be a parking lot at that time.

 

San Diego and Ventura Fwys look like parkinglots all the time any more.

 

I just looked, The 10 will be a lot better then the 210 going to the 405. And the 10 is just a few miles from the 210.

 

It's a joke down there anymore. LA too.

 

i was just down in huntington sunday and the water was bitchen. the water was actually pretty clear and the waves were nice.

 

what kind of road trip is this?
All (I-) roads and turn pikes???

Dude just find an even number road that drive it until it runs out or you see another even number road, that maybe loks more fun..... continue on even numbered roads until you run into a large pond. Then go take odd number roads as required Smaller numbers are south larger numbers are north.

 

I don't know Z. Maybe you should just walk.

 

I was out there in April and the 210 westbound was fine - better than the 10. Take 15 to 210 west to 57 south. Then take 22 west to whatever city street will take you into Huntington Beach where you want to go - Beach Blvd is probably as good as any. Avoid the 405 altogether.

 

I'm going to go with Jimmy Page on this one, and say take your chances on a big jet plane...

maybe some flowers... in your hair?
