So.....What seem's to be the prefered route to take to parker
while towing a boat from the L.A. area?
Taking I-10 thru desert center or go thru 29 palms?

The road through 29 palms is horrible. Shorter, but in really bad shape.

When going to Havasu, I take 10to Blythe an then north on the AZ side.
Seems to be less traffic.

I take the 10 to Rice road when its not busy, if there is a lot of traffic, I go all the way to Blythe, much safer. I usually go to the river during the week and I drive at night, so its usually rice rd. My bro in law is a Parker cop, three fatals on Rice rd. the last couple of weeks.

TheI-10 route , first exit after river, Ehernberg, through CRIT land. Very smooth road. Fourty four miles to Parker from the exit.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but how do you get to the Havasu Landing from the 10?

Take Desert Center, like you're going to Parker, to the 95/62 junction. (Vidal Junction at the inspection station)
Turn left (north) on 95 to the Havasu Landing turn off.
