I drove from Partington at 11:30. Not surprised all of Highway 1 a challenging drive.
Challenging must be an understatement! How about dangerous?
Yeah, I’d go for dangerous over challenging. And I saw a photo by a local Cal Trans guy showing how many CT and contractors and equipment were on the highway, and by traveling unnecessarily, we make their job even more difficult and dangerous than it already is.

I’m doing my part to stay off the road. I haven’t been north of Pacific Valley since Jan. 3 and I’ve only gone through Mud Creek 2xs since then!
