Long day 618 miles.
Highway CA-37 opened traveling east about 7:30 this morning so that is the way we traveled over to I-5. When we go to the rest stop north of LA where we planned to spend the night it was closed. You’d think they could have put a sign at the previous rest stop saying this one is closed, it is closed for 6 months.
Not really knowing anything about the area we continued south looking for a place to spend the night. The next rest stop we pulled in fixed dinner and were settling in for the night when I looked at the weather report. We are at the top of “The Grapevine” Lebec, CA with snow coming.

Snow on the ridge above us
Here is the weather report.
This was not going to be a good place to stay and I was not looking forward to driving into LA at night but as they say, “It is what it is”.
This is Lebec weather report this afternoon.
And good thing we didn’t go to Bakersfield and high desert.
Today’s drive
Wow! That is a very long day, but probably for the best. Continued safe travels.
