I live in a small town up in Mendocino County. So, it takes me anywhere from 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 hours depending on how fast I'm going. I envy you guys who live within a jump and a skip away.

Indeed. now the plan is to leave really really earily. Like... wednesday evening around like...11. And then drive through the night. I'm not the only driver thank the gods, there are three of us. And the two others have made a six hour trip without problems, and i can make a ten hour drive with ease...so..I'm expecting blareing music, ice cold air to keep us awake and plenty-o-energy drinks. -nod-

Post by: Kaura117 on May 20, 2008, 05:13:31 PM
About fifteen minutes to half an hour via public transport. Depends on time of day, frequency of stops (some stations have been closed down for repairs- this has made things very convenient, actually), and whether I'm coming from home or work.

I'll be taking about a four hour flight..and then i dont know where to go from there...x.x

I don't know if i should take a cab or what..i've never taken any sort of public transportation before..

I live in Ukiah myself so the drive is shorter. My brother who lives in Fort Bragg has another hour and a half.

If you mean humid then yes..it really is..today it feels a bit like 80, but for some reason on the weekends (when i work outside) it's always in the 90's and you get hot air blowing at you and you feel like you need to shower every twenty minutes..
oh it's horrible..
But I love it none the less
:3
Can't wait for the 100 degree heat~
The weather should be diffrent in California though..
