Perhaps I should look at a map but maybe someone can tell me the best point of entry and route, other advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

The highways are interstate 10, which takes you all the way across Texas from California, then one of several major freeways from the San Antonio area that goes to McAllen, then onward through Mexico.Good Luck on your trip, only drive the day...relax at night in a secure hotel.

Thanks Joe! what is like driving from CA across TX?
Is it scenic, deserted in certain parts?
Is it best to drive in the Fall and or is Summer allright as long as your vehicle has AC?
