Just depends on your definition of "too bad" (LA area isn't "too good", 
either), but before they scare y'all to death, I've been through all of 
the above except Boston, DC, and Orlando with a 1-ton box flat bed p/u 
pulling a small camp trailer (goat shows -- Nationals is sometimes a bit 
distant) and am still alive to tell you about it.  Yeah, a novice would 
probably prefer to avoid "rush hour", but in some places it is all 24 
hours, so just go, stay cool, stay out of the way of the idiots, and 
don't think that getting there when you want to be there is really all 
that important.

North bound on the 5 through the San Jouquin (sp?) valley can be a tad 
fast on the way home Sunday nite ...  never seen so many people going to 
seemingly nowhere (sorry, Seth) so fast -- I 'spose most were just happy 
to be leaving LA

Godspeed!
