My long journey home...

So this morning I left Palo Alto at about 5:00 A.M. in hopes of avoiding the traffic in San Jose and hopefully avoiding the traffic in L.A. which should have been over by the time I got there.

Instead, things happenned a bit differently.

By the time I was within about an hour of the Grapevine, the digital warning signs started to show that it was closed due to snow. After searching for an alternate route, waiting hours for it to open up, and then waiting for traffic to clear up I finally left at around two o' clock--I waited four hours.

But the journey wasn't over yet.

Once I got into the pass it was still icy and there was a lot of traffic. Stop and start traffic.
