Looks like the 15 is open...how bad is traffic on Fridays heading towards LV?

[/ QUOTE ]

Really bad. Go really early if you can.

What do you mean by "really early"? Like leave at noon or leave at 10 am?

5am

holy christ I hope you're joking.

Not really, that's how I do it, but I'm old and have no problem taking off that early, in fact that's how I prefer it. Makes for a quick, easy drive, gets me into Vegas mid morning.

But in general, I think it's one of those "the earlier the better" things. I haven't driven a Friday afternoon to Vegas in years because, well, it sucks!

[Ikaika]

There exists the minor issue of work that needs to be taken care of should I choose to head out that early. How bad is the drive from LA? Worse than from SD?

[Roswell]

Definitely try to leave by noon. You'll hit traffic in the Inland Empire, but it won't be that bad. If you leave after 1 pm, the traffic in the IE will be horrendous - there will be jams at every merge (15/91, 15/10, etc.)

[Ikaika]

Gotcha. Looks like the current plan is to drive up to LA tonight and ride with some friends that are also going so I can still take care of work on my laptop during the drive tomorrow(<3 my aircard).

I-5 is open from OC to San Diego right? Someone was telling me junk about how it's still closed at pendleton.

Also, if it's usually a 1 hr drive for me and I leave Irvine at 4pm, is traffic going to suck? Or will it be ok b/c no one in the right mind would be driving to SD?

I have a few coworkers that live in HB and they said that the 5 was open the whole way. This was Thursday though and I don't know if the fire has changed anything since.
