Having driven up and down 395 maybe a hundred times between L.A. and =
Mammoth, I would simply caution everyone that there are very tightly =
patrolled speed traps in Independence, Lone Pine and Big Pine. Even a =
few miles over the posted speed limit can get you a ticket. And, =
slowing down needs to be complete by the time you pass that speed limit =
sign or you are risking a ticket. My friends and I have been driving to =
Mammoth Mountain and other sites along the way since the late =
1960=E2=80=99s and there are always Highway Patrol giving out tickets in =
these towns. Yes, I have received my share. =20
It is a beautiful ride, especially if there is still snow on the peaks =
but can be very hot in the Mohave desert on the southern end. I will =
look forward to seeing some of you at Big Bear next week. Have a safe =
drive.

Ira, Based on the experience of a group of us who drove to the =
Ventura West Coast Meet in our Healeys many years ago, I would strongly =
suggest you rethink the idea of driving down 395. Yes, it's shorter in =
time, but it is absolutely the most desolate, boring and hot (let me =
emphasize that) HOT drive you can possible imagine. There's a reason =
that the U.S. government put the internment camps out in that area =
during World War II -- there's nothing within 100 miles of the camps. =
When we were driving, one of the drivers called out on his CB -- "Stop =
the next time you see any shade along the road" -- we drove for another =
hour before we saw a tree.
Take a little more time and do the traditional route down Interstate =
5, then cut over to 101 and follow that down to north of Los Angeles =
where you can cut over to BBL.
Anyone else agree with me?
