    Default Be safe.

    Wow that's a heck of a trip ahead and it doesn't look as though you have had much sleep. The first thing I would say is that if staying safe means arriving back in LA a day later then that is what you need to do. Secondly I would say 100% stop and get some paper maps as you shouldn't rely on electronics at the best of times. Thirdly if you are more comfortable taking the route you came on then that is worth considering, you have air con right ?

    If you want to take I70 then with the aid of Google maps I have come up with the following stops to space your journey. I have taken Winchester VA as a start point. First night. Terre Haute IN [578 miles] then Abilene KS [558 miles] then Vail CO [550 miles] then St George UT [534 miles] before arriving in LA [388 miles] So as you can see, with the last day being shorter, you have room to stop a little earlier if you want on days you might become weary.

    I hope this helps if no one else is on line before you leave, but remember safety and paper maps should be your priority.

    Plan 'B'. If you were to make it just west of Indianapolis tonight [500 miles for an esier start] then stop around Topeka KS [545miles] Denver [540 miles] Cedar City [580 miles].

    Good luck
