I am with Gary Sobek fly to KSJN then to ABQ. Two hops and you are home. The only difference is I am not a fan of the banning pass (seems more bumpy to me but no big deal). I depart KCCB hop over the hills to HEC, EED, DRK then land and talk to the friendly folks at KSJN. Cheep fuel nice folks and the first stop for MANY of the SoCal folks on there way east. Then all you have is a 140 mile hop and you are home. Easy. Leave eairly and you will have a blast. Not sure why but I love the flight from here to KSJN. I suppose it is the first hop on the way to OSH and the last hop on the way home.
Four years ago I flew to OSH for the first time (I had never been out of California before that). I was nervous beyond belief. EVERYONE told me just one flight at a time, you can do it. You know what? They were correct!
Do not think of it as a trip from where you are leaving from all the way to ABQ (or whatever your destination is) just think of it as a flight from Whitman to CCB (for an example) then to HEC then EED. If at that time you are tired then make a right at EED and land 25 miles later at KHII. Park at Desert Sky FBO and walk the 50' to the BBQ and have lunch. By the way the folks at Desert Sky are fantastic. Then get back in your plane and head to KSJN for fuel. Or another idea fuel at KHII then direct to KABQ. Short hop to KHII get fuel have lunch get that first hop and confidence under your belt the off to KABQ. Easy and fun with a good lunch thrown in.
Heck by that time you will probably be thinking KOSH is not that far one flight at a time so I will stop by there, which would be a great idea
Any way you can do it and you WILL have fun. I am an average pilot on my best day. With some but not a great amount of X Country experience. If I can make it to OSH twice (going again this year for a third time) and Montana twice you can do it. Listen to the experienced dudes (Gary Sobek etc) that say one flight at a time. It really works. Not to mention this list and any list you might be on where you live are a GREAT place for help. I had problems on my first trip to OSH. Got discouraged a few times and the folks over on the SoCal RV list helped me out and got me through it. They helped me figure out a couple small issues and I had a great time.
In the unlikely event you have issues there is help available. Heck one time I made a precautionary landing at some crop dusters field. No RV or experimental folks there but I had more help than I knew what to do with. They had me back in the air in about 30 minutes and refused to let me pay for there help. In my limited experience pilots are always willing to help pilots.
OK I have rambled on to long. Do it and have a blast!
