SB Castaic to Santee, CA

Again pulling out at 9am, for the same reasons stated in the “SB Oceano . . .” blog entry. This time we knew the route through LA was bound to be slower and maybe as bad as our NB pass. Today the NB traffic was thick and slow like we had experienced 2 weeks ago. Our South heading was easy, less traffic and few delays. The biggest problem we had was 2 navigational errors that put us into LA’s light industrial district. We ended up off Interstate 5 because of confusing signage – novice drivers. Both times we were lucky that our smart phone GPS got us back on track (I-5) quickly with no problems.

When we are towing our rig and get onto surface streets, we are always cautious that we might get into a “tight” spot with no option but to turn around or backup. Neither of which are simple (see blog above about our length and tight spacing). We made very good time through LA and beyond.
