Well, that didn't go as planned!
I spent 1.5 hrs trying to get from South Pasadena to Palmdale this morning (normally 45 mins) to test at Willow Springs Raceway. No bueno!
All of the freeways heading north out of LA; I-210, I- 5, and CA-14; all had fire closures, but Hwy 2 showed as open (but with slowing). After about an hour of heading north, it was blocked solid with no movement for 30 mins. I gave up and came home.
But I had a beautiful morning drive through the San Gabriel mountains!
The Boxster ran perfectly and handled great in the canyons. That car can seriously haul ass on a canyon road.
Onward to Sonoma...
