Anyone take this route with their rig?

Leaving Pahrump, NV around 4/13 for an overnight in Bakersfield.

I'm late to the party, but I'm fairly positive that's how we went from Pahrump to Acton, CA. Crew cab/long bed/dually pulling a 42' fifth wheel. No issues- actually was a decent drive.

We stopped at a parking/overnighting area for Dumont Dunes for a lunch break (food in the camper). That area was beautiful.


We stopped at the Dumont Sand Dunes for lunch. I'd love to go back and stay, but there was absolutel...

Thanks...wanted a way other than going back thru Vegas.

We typically use 58 on the way and back from AZ so familiar.

when we were there last month, we were told that 178 was blocked by mudslides down on the south end, so be sure and ask at the visitor center. otherwise, 127 is ok. it will get you there.

We probably take it at least once a year. Good two lane road. You won't set any speed records but not a bad drive.

Although its been a number of years but its an OK road. Two lane but so what
