Hi All,
I've got navigator duty today. I'm sitting in the dinette typing while the wife (Stephanie) is driving us west on I-40. Feels like a great day to test out the new radiator re-core, water pump, fan clutch and recent anti vapor lock measures with a jaunt across the Mojave pulling a tracker. We got a fairly early start (Google maps says we should arrive at Ventura ~ 1:30 pm) so it might not even be over 100 when we go through.
Anyway, looking at the map it looks way shorter to go north of the Angeles National Forest. Essentially cut off I-15 and go 18 -> 138 -> 14 -> I-5 -> 126 -> Ventura. Looks way shorter, Google maps says it would be 10 minutes longer than going all the way down through San Bernardino and LA.
I'm not familiar with the area, the local mountains, or Sunday LA traffic. Any recommendations?
