FELLOW DEMOCRATS

I am going to attempt driving to California, Tuesday from East TExas. Going to Los Angeles for a wedding. Where is the halfway city between Dallas, TX and Los Angeles because we all will stay overnight in that town and continue the drive the next day. Travaeling through El Paso, Tuscan AZ, and Phoenix, AZ. Have any of your driven this route before and about how long does it take to drive it? Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

A side note, the drive across Texas is boring. It is not until you reach El Paso that you will start to enter some of the most beautiful scenes that nature has to offer. Once you get to El Paso and continue your journey west, you will find that the drive is enjoyable as there is so very much to see. If you have the time, I strongly suggest taking a few side trips to see some of the history sites along the route. If you go to Tuscon, make a point of visiting the old western town of Tombstone, the town famous for the shoot out at the OK Corral. This town is like stepping back in time of the old west, as nothing has changed since those days of the town's infamy.
If you are driving through desert areas, I strongly encourage you, especially in mountainous regions, to turn off your A/C in these area. It is not uncommon to see cars on the side of the road that have over-heated. Many desert areas with steep mountain inclines will have signs posted telling drivers to turn off their A/C.
Enjoy your trip and welcome to Los Angeles when you arrive.
Once you get to LA, perhaps you may want to park your car and utilize public transportation to get around the City. We have a wonderful MetroLink train system, subways and express bus service lanes. Most every major attraction to see in LA has a dedicated subway station.
