Tripping across the Mojave on I-40
I will be making my first trip to the grand canyon this july, which entails coming across I-40 there and back. Am I being overly cautious about that ride? Looks like about 3 hrs and July avg temps ~...

We did the drive across I-40 through the Mojave this summer heading west to California and then east to the Grand Canyon. We made sure to fill up with gas before we hit the Mojave Preserve. The gas station on the eastern edge of the preserve is very expensive.
We did have a blow out along there, but it turned out to be a good place to have one with the big sandy shoulder.
On our way east heading to the Grand Canyon out of Barstow, we took I-15 to Kingman and reconnected with I-40 there. This was about 15 minutes longer, according to Google maps, but it did have more gas stations, and we got to see different scenery than our trip.
