I'm trying to drive from Baton Rouge, LA to Livermore, Ca Any suggestions for stops, route, and etc ? I'm driving myself and thinking about driving 2-3 days at the most.
Thanks !
This is a 32 hour trip. So if you want to do it in 3 days that means 10+ hours a day. Three days could be
Baton Rouge to Odessa (Texas)(11 plus hours)
Odessa to Phoenix (10 hours)
Phoenix to Livermore (10 hours)
I think I would not want to do such long days. I might split it into four or five days and stop at San Antonio (6 hours), El Paso (8 hours), and Phoenix (7 hours) before I went to Livermore - this still leaves a 10+ hour day in California to get to Livermore.

I'd recommend doing the drive over at least 4 days. 8 hours per day of driving is about the maximum of what can be reasonably expected of any person. You don't mention if you'll have anyone else with you - if so, then maybe you can do it in 2-3 days if you split the driving so that each person drives no more than 8 hours per day.
I'd do it as follows: Day 1: Baton Rouge - Oklahoma City (via Shreveport and Dallas); Day 2: Oklahoma City - Albuquerque; Day 3: Albuquerque - Las Vegas (along I-40 to Kingman and then to U.S. 93) and Day 4: Las Vegas - Livermore (via Barstow, Mojave, Bakersfield and Modesto.
