While living in Northern California it feels that any 'popular place' in California is super close. We are just outside of San Fransisco so there are quite a few places near by, LA is just about 6 hours south from our location and San Diego is a bit south from there. Most popular places in California is a short drive away. Add in traffic time and the travel time is still not to shabby.
The drive down I5 is long and boring, to top it of phone signal is sketchy in many locations. There are some beautiful landscapes along the way but the cow farm is not one of them. The stench lasts for miles! And thats in both directions. Once you get to the mountain, AKA THE GRAPEVINE the drive gets tricky as you are driving up hill for a bit, then just over the crest, and downhill. If you driving a car that cant handle inclines try another lol. Watch out for speeding on the downhill as I am sure cops are waiting for you to pick up speed and get caught at the bottom.
On the other side of the mountain you eventually reach LA and the traffic starts. Getting thru this city is always hectic and if it happens to be the 'witching hour' you in for some hell. Once past Disneyland traffic seams to open up and moving again.
From start to end it took a total of 9 hours door to door.
