6 of one, etc.
The grapevine (I-5) takes you thru LA. Depending on the time time of day, you can count on gridlock no matter if you take 210 or 10 east from I-5.
If you take 58 east thru Tehachapi to 14, you miss 90% of the traffic stress and see some pretty desert(if that thrills you).
If it were me, I would take 58.
BTW, honk when pass thru Bakersfield. (We have a Black Bear diner now)
