Reply #17: I made that trip two years ago [View All]

My brother lived on Jones between Post and Geary. I drove to El Paso where my cousins live (and just outside, across the border in New Mexico).

SF is VERY safe compared to down here. Be especially careful on I-10, though the worst of it is East of San Antonio... lots of psychos in Texas.

Btw, I recommend driving from Bakersfield up to Zions, then down into the Grand Canyon (Hwy 89), and go South through Arizona. I crisscrossed the Painted Desert until Sedona (more family) then went South to I-10.

The only bad part of my trip was driving through Texas, though I didn't encounter any difficulties. It took me exactly 15 hours to drive from El Paso to New Orleans... which wasn't fast enough.
