Las Vegas Christmas
Lots of traffic on the way up here. Took me more than four hours to do 230 miles or so, which surprised me a little.
Coming up here for boxing matches, over the years, I pretty much could count on doing it in less than three hours.
But it seems as if tens of thousands of SoCal residents have decided Las Vegas is the perfect place to spend part of the Holiday Weekend. I know because I had them in front of me, behind me, next to me all the way up the I-15.
Traffic was at a dead stop about 30 miles short of Baker. Which always kills me. No on ramps, no way the traffic can get any worse, and we're all stopped? I have trouble with the concept. How does that happen?
Sure, there was a wreck, eventually, but there were other serious slowdowns ... all the way to the Nevada state line, where we regained a third lane.
Anyway, Christmas in Vegas? I don't think so. I'm more of a Silent Night, Holy Night guy, and this is the antithesis of that.
