Tempting fate to announce my plans in advance but only by a couple of hours.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 04-22-2018 12:58 PM                        Arriving tomorrow morning. Leaving in the middle of the night to avoid the traffic through the High Desert. Looking forward to meeting you all.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-22-2018 12:59 PM                     We are in the lower "Forum" ballroom (with the all-important Coke booth) #1019F Come and say hi.  |  IP: Logged Chris Markiewicz Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: Glenaviegh, County Tipperary, Ireland Registered: Aug 2002 posted 04-22-2018 02:28 PM                     I'll be there sometime Wednesday.

Hoping to see a few familiar faces.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-24-2018 09:29 AM                     quote: Leo Enticknap Leaving in the middle of the night to avoid the traffic through the High Desert.

I've driven from Vegas to L.A. at 2 am saying to myself what you just posted only to find the traffic was practically bumper to bumper....

If you'd left an hour earlier, you'd likely have had a clear run. I live in Loma Linda, which is 18 miles east of where you would transition from the 15 to the 10, driving from Vegas to LA. I've found through trial and second-gear crawling error that in order to avoid hellish traffic driving to a service call in LA or Hollywood, I have to be on the road by 4am. Any later than that, and the stretch between the 57 and the 605 will be a crawl. If you're starting from Vegas at 2am, you'll arrive at that stretch at around 5.30, when the morning rush hour will already be ramping up. An hour earlier, you'd sail through it without any sign of brake lights. Back to topic, and it was great to meet all of you today and yesterday!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-25-2018 09:49 PM                        One time we were at Disneyland on one of their 'late close' events. We got outa there at 3:00 AM and even then I couldn't believe the traffic on the freeways going back to my friend's house. And yeah I've done that Vegas to L.A. drive during the evening. Pretty wild for this Montana kid!  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 04-25-2018 10:12 PM                        Between the outskirts of Vegas and the outskirts of the seriously built-up part of the High Desert (around 15 miles east of Victorville) it's never that bad. Almost no-one lives or works along that stretch of the 15 (hence the movie Zyzzx Road), which puts a natural limit on the amount of traffic that passes along it. The bit of the 15 that parallels the Las Vegas Strip at one end, the Cajon Pass, and the 10 west of the 57 at the other, are the crunch points.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-26-2018 07:49 PM                     Can't say that was my experience driving to L.A. from Vegas the several times I did... Xyzzx road is actually pretty famous... as it goes to a number of abandned mines from yesteryear. There is also the remains of a health spa there... https://www.wimp.com/they-call-this-abandoned-town-the-weirdest-in-america-the-history-of-it-is-even-more-bizarre/ Mark  |  IP: Logged
