When we checked in at our Hotel Wednesday it was already dark, and we still had to drive another 20 minutes on the freeway to get to Forest Lawn... so it looked like this:

Los Angeles Traffic La_traffic

I had my directions but at the same time I was trying to follow my cousin. Bad idea... it is IMPOSSIBLE to try and follow someone in rush hour traffic in LA! rollinpin LOL I made a wrong turn on the exit and ended up in Hollywood Blvd! Laughing Thank goodness it wasn't that far off from the cemetery since I just had to turn around and drive back up.

Yes... LA traffic is horrible... lol

Los Angeles Traffic 184143 Carol, I don't know how you do it. You know, when my Dad had to have surgery, and I had to drive to the city so much, I told Rob that at first I thought that the traffic was really bad. . . . then I thought to myself, "Yeah, Carol would probably think this was Mayberry traffic compared to what she sees!"

That's amazing, Carol!

But small towns have their traffic, too. If you could keep your head during a mash-up like this, you're a better man than I am. Los Angeles Traffic 68167

Well I don't live in Los Angeles so I don't deal with that traffic thank goodness! To get to that point I'd have to drive for about 2 hours, pass the mountains, etc. That is why I don't travel south too often...

I live in a small town too Rob so what you posted is what pretty much how it looks like here lol. My aunt calls it "The Bicycle Town" Laughing Well, I told her... I much prefer 'The Bicycle Town' than to deal w/ the LA traffic!

This is what the roads look like where I live to get to other little towns: Los Angeles Traffic Sportcar3

This is the highway...

oh dear, that traffic is horrible! mad I've been stuck in bad traffic a few times, but thankfully one of my good friends was in the car the most recent time so I had someone to talk to Laughing Carol, the town roads and highways where I live look a lot like those roads in the second set of pictures you posted, and I'm sure glad of it!

That looks similar to our rush hour around here. It always takes you forever to get anywhere during rush hour. Once it took me 2 hours to drive 13 miles away. Very frustrating! Thankfully, during regular times of the day traffic isn't too bad. If you can plan around rush hour, you're usually okay.

Rob, I don't know how you put up with the traffic around where you live. Noo Laughing

My cousin who lives in L.A. was griping about traffic and to make him 'feel better' I sent him a video of what traffic looked like for me going home from work. Los Angeles Traffic Sportcar3 Laughing
So while he dealt with that, I dealt with this :) This is a 30 second video I took of me driving home greenS
