I need to go back to SoCal, but the Cajon pass has been closed off. Am I hosed?

//edit

I made it home through snow (twice), shitloads of rain, but surprisingly no traffic and no road closures...at a touch over 4 hours. Glad I didn't make the detour through Arizona or behind Big Bear...

Hole yourself up in Bouchon. Be careful not to eat yourself to death.

There is a slot machine at the airport you need to play. All you do is drop in coins at a certain sequence and you win 11 million dollars, you should go find it.

actually, all you need to do is take those coins and invest them in a 10% return mutual fund and wait 20 years. you should close to a 100 mil by then.

Ok, so come down the border to the 10 instead of the 15 back. Its about 2 extra hours.

edit: 95 south to the 10 west. Or come down into Victorville and take the 247 around to the 62 and the ten (e.g. drive around the pass and bigbear)...

40 dumps into the 15, same pass to get over.

I had that happen once, so I just rented a car and drove to San Diego. Doesn't sound like that's going to help you in your case though.

Why the heck would he need to drive to San Diego first? Do any of you guys actually live anywhere near here or own a map? Your in Downy and think the only way over the Cajon summit is via San Diego?

then take 40 to amboy, head down to 29 palms, then across to 10.
