- Drove from the Bay to LA today on the 1200. Crazy trip. Left at 1:30, a little hungover from Nick’s wedding yesterday. Got 5 hours of sleep. Stopped twice before the Grapevine, both for gas/food. Hit the grapevine around 7pm, after the sun had gone down. I was already cold and exhausted. It’s been weirdly freezing here in California lately, even just being outside. The temperatures on Tejon Pass were in the 30s. There was snow everywhere. I was on a motorcycle going 80mph, adding a huge wind chill factor. I was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt lol. It was the coldest I’ve ever been in my entire life. After the summit, I had to pull into a rig’s brakecheck area to sit in Allie’s car and reheat my core before continuing. Total trip time was about 7.5hrs, including the 3 stops.
