Jerry, it was recommended that we should run with our passport, I forgot mine and it wasn't an issue.
Thank you everyone for all the support and encouragement. I'll get a RR when I get back to Bama
Brilliant, isn't the road to Bakersfield buried under mud at the moment?
Yes! The 5 is open, but we were up in San Bernardino county for the wedding last night, and he left directly from there. So he had to go via Mojave where the 58 was closed - despite the detour, it was still faster than coming back down to Orange County to pick up the 5. He got to his hotel very late. I felt bad that I woke him at 7AM when I called.
