hey fellow travelers

me and the wife want to drive cross country (southern route) on 12/22 and come back to los angeles by the 3rd of jan.

we wanted to hit up memphis, new orleans, austin, santa fe and grand canyon in 11 days

is it doable? any advice or pointers for those who had such a similar endavor? when driving in that time in december, when is the latest you would recommend to stop and go look for a place to crash the night? is it dangerous to drive this time a year? i mean the weather is cold and some points there can be snow but is it driveable? or a high risk time to drive around that time period?


would love to hear your thoughts

thanks
