VFR from San Diego to Las Cruces

MOA's are not much of an issue, I blow through them everytime I fly.
there is a restricted area near oceanside thats active 24/7 (from what I was
told when I wanted to fly through it)
Thunderstorms in nevada and arizona during the summer...not an issue. We get
about 6 inches of rain a year.

IFR is not very much an issue in the Southwest, but it can get rather
windy in Spring and you may have the usual thunderstorms in the
afternoon during Summer.And watch out for the zillion MOAs and
restricted areas on the way.

Two questions about VFR x-country from CRQ (Palomar, Carlsbad CA) to
LRU (Las Cruces, NM):

1) What's the best VFR route for a low time pilot.

2) What's the best time of year so that stranded in LRU by bad or IFR
conditions.

Thanks,
