Interstate 40 bakersfield east

Depends on the year and the weather. Tehachapi, in some years has been a problem, but other years, Flagg has been a problem. Hard to say until you get there. Generally the I-40 is an easy drive all year long. One thing I've noticed, folks tend to not want to slow down when they hit high cross the winds in the Mohave desert. I've seen a single wide mobil home laying on it's side because of high road speed vs. high cross winds. Just slow down and all will be ok. When I feel the winds I set the cruise at 45mph, and sit back and relax. When I hit the passes, I try to time my crossings 10am to 4pm. I rarely have had problems. I would recommend coming down the 95 through Nevada at this time of year. Many places to boondock and the landscapes are much prettier. This would be a good time to drop through death valley for a visit/tour. Good luck...
