I used to drive that route then I-5 south to visit my folks. I agree about 152 west of I-4 - that's *much* more interesting than the northern route to I-5, taking I-580. Neither of those was the most boring part of the drive. 58 east from I-5 - across the Mojave and then through Kramers Junction, which has *got* to have to worst traffic jam in CA on Sunday afternoons - to I-40 beats it hands down. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
