Bakersfield to San Diego

When in doubt check Google maps:
Taking the straight I-5 route: 233 miles
Taking the suggested I-5 to 210 to 15: 273 miles
Taking my preferred route of 58 to 395 to 215 to 15: 264 miles

Basically you only add 30 miles to your trip by heading out through the Mojave Desert and you also miss Los Angeles and the Grapevine. When I drive from Nor Cal to San Diego I always take off at 58 and just completely skip Los Angeles. So much nicer of a drive.

I-5 to 210 to I-15 is the longest but the shortest route....Dennis

(Longest in mileage, shortest in time)

The I-5 thru LA is old, narrow and FULL
The I-210 has limited exit/entries, skirts along the foothills and moves pretty good

Course timing is the key :B
