We're lovin' this post so gotta keep it going. Those driving to LA from the North via I5 need to cross some mountains north of LA and Santa Clarita. The pass is called the Grapevine. Periodically, the Grapevine gets closed due to snow or an accident. This morning, there was a major big rig accident involving hazardous materials that resulted in the closure of I5 near the Grapevine for most of the day. There's no easy bypass, so if one was say driving to DL from say SF, their 6-7 hour trip just turned into 10 hours or longer.
Hope you had a good day in Ventura Co. See ya next week, but sadly not during Monday's EE.
