Ok LA Folks, I did a Yahoo Map to the Hotel from my place and it's a little much.... not being a local and all. Especially if I have the top up (for gear in the jump seat area) and no right seater. I can deal with LA without getting run over in other cars without blindspots and actually can get around when it's just crusin. But!

So I ignored Yahoo and expanded the map looking for a route with minimum highway/freeway switches. The Yahoo Had the I40/I15 Barstow run til the I 15 exit for San Diego/LA, then 17 miles, off on CA-60W, onto CA57S/CA60W Combo? then split on CA 57S, then onto CA91W, off on Beach Blvd in Buena Park and to the Marriot.

Now, wanting to simplify at the cost of a few miles.... I expanded out the digital map and see that instead of getting of I-15 at CA60W and then do the do-si-do... I could countinue south maybe 20 miles on I 15 and exit on CA-91 West and ride that baby into Buena Park and off on Beach Blvd/CA39. This routing makes too much sense to me.... which sends up a murphy flag. What is wrong with that route? Or is it a good way to make it there?

Alternatives?

Remember I'll be dropping into the valley after about 600 miles inbound from Flagstaff, top up, loaded up with gear, and will be trying to stay in a good spot without changing roads/lanes too much.

Jim, I commute daily on the 91 toward Knotts. Make sure to hit that part of your drive after 10am and before 3pm, the traffic can become extremely heavy and aggressive at before 10am and in the afternoon. By the way, I live very close to the junction of the 91 and 15, what time do you plan on being in the area?

Stan,

Not to worry, maybe that is a result of an ancient past. I drink very little now and everyone is happier, me included. I guess I am going back to my Austin Healey days in the 60's when a can of golden goodness between the legs was the road trip formula. Them days are gone forever! I have enough trouble see the road now without the beer.

By the way, how is the spring weather back there Stan? Had the top down much. I remember when we had those nice spring days in Illinois, the top would go down and cruising the back roads were in order!

Looks like we may converging on the Marriott Courtyard about the same time. You from the East and Rick, Dale, Paul and myself from the North via I-5. Be glad to pull into their parking lot, I think we shall miss some gridlock arriving mid day but that is something we just can't guarantee.Looks like some clouds and sprinkles early in the week there but that is good since that gives it time to move out and give us some primo weather for the meet.

Lance, Thursday arouind 1 if all goes as planned. My cell is 405-615-7384.. I'm calling Dan as I approach... if you give me number I'll call you too. I expect to meet up with Bruce and company at the Marriot around 2. If you can see I15, look for a black, bug encrusted and dusty VS crankin those last miles. If I don't hit a tornado in the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma I may have my top up......

Jim
