That is also a good way to miss the nightmare of Los Angeles traffic!

I have gone thru Palmdale , ETC. for years----- also tried 395--
I saved an hour in time by driving thru the LA traffic just before noon.TMW - 3-25-2011 at 06:35 AM
If I can get to the I-5 and the 118 by noon I'll go thru LA on I-5 if not I go thru Mojave, Palmdale and 138. I usually always come back thru Palmdale
from the 138.mcfez - 3-25-2011 at 12:34 PM

About how much time does Palmdale save ...leaving here in two hours. BTW all...thanks for the updates.nbacc - 3-25-2011 at 01:36 PM
OK.........not going to make the trek today.............husband has the flu and weather is REALLY bad. Will try to leave tomorrow.TMW - 3-26-2011 at 08:09 AM
If I'm going to San Diego a clear run down I-5 takes about 4 to 4.5 hours Depending on how fast the traffic is running. If there are slow downs in LA
add 1, 2 or 3 hours. Going thru Palmdale I take 138 to I-15 to I-415 and take it to the 210 to I-10 then 86 for El Centro or Mexicali. Otherwise I
take the I-415 thru San Bernardino/Riverside and meet the I-15 again to San Diego. It's a 5 hour drive to San Diego this way, sometimes a tad more.
But much more relaxed. They have the interchange at the 415/60 fixed so going or coming is quick and easy. It only took them 40 years to do it. On the
138 most drivers hum along at 60+, but watch for cops if going over 65, usually the one in the sky during the day and on the ground at night.
I'll add that I often stop at the Chaparral motorcycle shop at Mill St in San Bernardino. Big place easy to get to and has lots of goodies.

I got stuck in the LA traffic last week coming back home, thank heavens for wide mouth gatorade bottles and the fact that I am male. I had to go so
bad that after awhile I could care less who was looking. At first I was trying to sneak a pee, but after awhile I didn't give a crap who saw.
and I5 was the same as it ever was, no issues to report. I drove it from NW WA to the border last week, and from the border to the cape. long drive
but it sure beats los cabos to Soldotna, AK... 10days in a truck just plain sucks.
