I would rather have a root canal than drive through the Metroplex. The traffic is horrific. Between rush hours is marginally ok, but I suggest you position yourself to drive through there sometime after the previous night's drunks are off the road and the morning rush. Say before 6:30 am. Previous routing information provided above is valid. We have to make a couple trips a year in that direction for family reasons. Haven't got the guts to take the MH on those trips. It's bad enough in the truck.
