I-40, as long as there are no blizzards.

I-40, I don't suppose there is a more southern route than that to
avoid blizzards ... finally destination is TwentyNine Palms. I took a
trip two or three years ago, returning mid November through Colorado
and was just able to pass through the Rocky Mountains before they
closed the highway and was snowed in on the eastern side. Couldn't
find snow chains anywhere, so I purchased heavy duty snowmobile boots
.... just in case I got stuck somewhere, figuring at least I could walk
my way out to safety. grin

I-40 to Albuquerque, south on I-25, then I-10 might help avoid blizzards.

We did OKC to LA in two and a half days of driving using I-40 this past
June. You could do it in two if you pushed it. (For example, we
stopped in Albuquerque about 4PM because we needed to do some shopping
and hit AAA there the next morning, but we could have made Flagstaff
that day.)

You asked for the fastest route.

finally destination is TwentyNine Palms. I took a
trip two or three years ago, returning mid November through Colorado
and was just able to pass through the Rocky Mountains before they
closed the highway and was snowed in on the eastern side. Couldn't

You never did say where in Oklahoma you would be starting from. I
used to spend time in Apache, just north of Lawton, around
Christmastimes and sometimes avoided the worst of weather by
going south to Wichita Falls, then southwesterly on two-lanes to
Abilene and I-10 and west to Arizona.

You travel south, and then pick up I-10 in El Paso, and head to LA.
