Good morning, I will be moving my family from San Diego to Minneapolis in April. Since I have only made this trip in July using the Northern route, I was wondering if the Southern route to I-35 would be safer and easier. We will be driving a Toyota Rav4 and a Ford F150, 3 adults and 3 small dogs, we will have 5-6 days for the trip. We are planning on stopping each night and making many stops for the dogs along the way. Thank you for any advice!
