Gators1240 9 #1 September 28, 2010 I'm heading to Elsinore tomorrow on my way out to the la area since skydive az is apparently closed Tuesday and Thursday. Would it be a better idea to leave early tomorrow and try and beat the night time la traffic or spend the night in Elsinore and get up early and beat the Morning traffic/wait till the morning rush is over?

quade 4 #2 September 28, 2010 From Elsinore into LA "leaving early" ends at 4 am. I'm NOT kidding. You will be far better off spending the day at Elsinore and then making your drive from there to Ventura after sunset.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #4 September 28, 2010 Quoteget stronger bumpers! Oh please, can't you just see that creates a cycle of never ending upgrades? First you get bigger bumpers so you can "nudge" people forward, then you have to get a bullet proof windshield. Because they didn't shoot straight they messed up your paint job, so now you need a flamethrower to get back at them. On and on. Dude, these are spartan times. I can't afford all that shit.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What Quade said. Going from Elsinore to LA will put you in the middle of what's known as the "Corona Crawl". As for beating nighttime traffic, that starts about 3:00 and goes to 7ish. Personally, I'd hang out at the DZ and drive to LA late. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #13 September 29, 2010 California is a green state as far as gas consumption goes. Driving on the LA freeways is CHEAP on gas. Here's what you do: Get on the freeway and let off the gas. They will push you! Or, simply drive like the natives do. You'll be just fine.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Gators1240 9 #15 September 29, 2010 It wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be, left Elsinore around 430 knowing I was probably about to hate life but everyone stopped jumping around 2 and I didn't feel like sitting by myself forever at the dz. Ended up taking the 101 and only really had one spot where it was stop and go (can't remember exactly where) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
