Toney Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 I am looking for information about the best rt. to take going from Tennessee to the Escapade this year. I am mainly concerned about weather around Albuquerque south on I-25 to Las Cruces this time of the year. The last time we travelled to Tucson we went from Memphis to Little Rock on I-40 then I-30 to Dallas and to El Paso on I-20 then I-10 to Tucson. We had very large delays in Dallas and El Paso. That is what I want to avoid. I-25 out 0f Albuquerque ( and I-40 into) should not be a problem. I know of the mountain range East of Alb, but it should not be a problem. Of course we will be paying attention to the NWS while traveling . So our route will be as follows: I-40 from Memphis to Albq. then I-25 from Albq. to Las cruces, then I-10 to Tucson. Any Input will be welcomed. Thank you. bumpus4 (105242) ToneyMurpFishing /Rock Hound 101'13 HR Ambassador'14 GP Wrangler toad'42&'44 vintage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk W Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Taking the northern route you could have weather issues. It is interstate and is well maintained so should be OK as long as you watch the weather closely. We take the southern route because are home-based just off of I-20 and 70 miles east of Dallas. While I am not fond of Dallas travel, we will be going that way in 2 more days as we had out for Escapade. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

SRPearson Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 We just came down from Albuquerque on I-25 through Las Cruces last week. It was clear and dry then. With this storm front coming through today, it might be wet for the next few days. But it is a good interstate. 2007 Country Coach Allure 470 and pushed by 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4. We are now on the road seeing this great country of ours. Let the fun will begin!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gypsies Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 You just never know about weather - especially this year. Once we were on I-40 just west of Albuquerque and it closed down completely for a blizzard. Everyone spent a few hours just sitting on the highway because there was no place to go. This was at the end of April. If you're concerned about Dallas and El Paso there are secondary roads you can take to bypass them. Or, if you plan correctly, drive through on Sunday morning - always a good time for any big city.
