    I don't know how anybody stands that place. Of course Brooklyn and Queens is no picnic either but it's easy to dodge the worst parts of the NYC area if you really want to.

    The Rush Hour in So Cal is no joke, I would park and wait it out.

    It usually starts thinning out about 19:00 to 20:00 depending on the Freeway.

    Try 2200

    It's a 4 hour to 5 hour jaunt to hesperia. 75 miles i think it was. Throw in christmas shoppers and you're looking at 6 hours to get out of there. Sometimes, google would help with faster routes.

    If i had a place to nap. that's what i did and waited till after 10 to leave. SCREW that traffic.

    Well if you are going to "waist time", you might as well pull over and eat.

    I'd want to go in the night before if possible. If not, 6-630 she be good.
