We were afraid our directions, map reading and GPS would not save us from Los Angeles traffic. Actually the combination did work pretty well.We did manage to skirt LA and drove through San Fernando, Glendale and Pasadena. Then dropped south and finally landed for the night in Temecula.
These photos give an example of the heaviest traffic around Pasadena. Thank goodness it was a leisurely Saturday afternoon drive!We counted 7 lanes of eastbound traffic and a commuter train. The traffic moved at around 25 mph for quite a distance. Many cars darting & changing lanes -- never leaving a cushion for
sudden stops.Neither of us were disappointed that we missed LA. We will only have a short distance to drive tomorrow to get to the site of the Teton Rally. We might even sleep late!
We enjoyed the early part of the drive this morning. We saw truck farms, orchards & vineyards. Some of the crops
we could identify were peaches, apricots, pistachios, tomatoes, onions, grapes, cabbage, cauliflower, cotton, alfalfa, corn and milo. Oh, there were also meadows of dairy cows and feedlots full of beef cattle.
