Oh Pflugeee! I've made that trip a hundred times and never thought of going that way.. We ALWAYS go Brownwood, Abilene, Big Spring, Lubbock, Clovis to Albuquerque.. From there the guide is about right. Your map doesn't even show hiway US183 ! It's a great ride and there are actually some gas stations and folks beside the hiway!!
If you MUST use I-10 at least go thru Mason to get there instead of Fredricksburg..
Have a great trip and a goood time, however you go.
