Oh, yeah, and before I forget, I got pulled over on the way through some podunk 25MPH town right below Bishop on the way there, at about midnight.

OK, as promised here, I’m finally getting around to posting my long awaited (and long winded) notes about the trip to Sacramento and San Francisco last week. But be warned, this one is going to be pretty long.

Traffic

July 31, 2005 – 6:08 pm

On the way to San Diego on Friday, we experienced probably the worst extended period of traffic I’ve ever been in. It took us a little over 7 hours to get there, and the only time it wasn’t stop and go (mostly stop) was on the relatively short stretch (~17 miles) of the 73 toll [...]
