We fuel up just east of ARVIN CA on CA 223 near the intersection of US 99 .
Coming from i-5 southbound :
We VERY much prefer cutting off of i-5 onto ca 223 through ARVIN CA when towing to Palm Springs .
CA 223 is south of the Bakersfield (58 ) Exits on i-5 .
223 ( Bear Mountain Road ) has 2 fuel stops near the intersection of US 99 .
The first is at CASTAJO ROAD just west of the US-99 overpass .
This is a truck stop .
Continuing east on CA 223 a few miles is a Farm Stop at CA 184 ( Wheeler Ridge Road ) just north of 223 on 184 .
This farm stop has cheap fuel . It is Co-Op .
We then continue east on CA 223 to join US 58 which takes us through Mojave CA .
We follow US 58 eastbound until we can turn right onto US 395 southbound to San Bernardino .
Abundant truck stops on 395 .
From 395 we turn southbound onto i-15 to San Bernardino
From 1-15 ( and 215 )we turn eastbound onto i-10 toward PS .
This is the lowest traffic route we have found to get to PS .
Virtually no stop and go except at Mojave and Kramer Junction .
We avoid Palmdale / Lancaster when towing but others may prefer it .
Through Palmdale would be the 2nd choice , we will no longer do 210 .
