[RAT]

Off LH Blvd and Idaho, near La Bonita Park and LHHS. Time/place to meet?

I'm thinkin 6:00-6:15 to make it to Flyin j by 8:30. How bout the MacDees' on Whittier and Harbor? That way we can pick up the 60 from Harbor. Jason, when are you leaving again?

[Jason]

Are you planning on being at the Flying J at 0830?

[daniel_buck]

I don't like the sounds that my tail gate is making with the spare tire on there, I'm gonna try strapping it down inside the tub this time. See if I can figure out a way to get it in there with the ice chest, I'm thinking tire laying flat strapped to the bottom of the tub, and the ice chest strapped on top of the tire?

[Mitch]

Hey Lorie, I was referring to my friend Mike (Deep Water) and his Jeep. But it looks like I might be a passenger tomorrow.

[daniel_buck]

oh yea, tire and chest fit back there nicely, the rear seat brackets are perfect for strapping down a tire, like it was made for that See yall tomorrow morning!

For those of us coming up from points south there will be construction on the 5 so we may experience some slow traffic.

Some Golden State (5) Freeway lanes and ramps will be shut down in Burbank at various times from today through Sunday as part of a construction project, Caltrans said today.

The closures are part of a $121 million improvement project to construct carpool lanes in each direction along the I-5 between the Hollywood (170) Freeway and Buena Vista Street in Burbank, said Caltrans spokesman Patrick Chandler. The project is designed to reduce congestion, encourage car-pooling, and improve air quality, he said.

Work began in early 2011 and is expected to be completed in late 2014, according to Chandler.

Barring changes, the following closures are scheduled today, Saturday and Sunday:

Northbound I-5 Roscoe Boulevard eastbound and westbound offramp from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Northbound I-5 Sunland Boulevard eastbound and westbound offramp from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Northbound I-5 Penrose Street eastbound and westbound offramp from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Northbound I-5 Tuxford Street eastbound and westbound onramp from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Northbound I-5 Lankershim Boulevard eastbound and westbound onramp from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Southbound I-5 Penrose Street eastbound and westbound offramp from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Southbound I-5 Penrose Street northbound and southbound onramp from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Southbound I-5 Lankershim Boulevard eastbound and westbound onramp from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Southbound I-5 Sheldon Street/Laurel Canyon Boulevard eastbound and westbound offramp from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Southbound I-5 Sheldon Street/Laurel Canyon Boulevard eastbound and westbound offramp from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Northbound I-5 from Buena Vista to Penrose Street, up to three lanes from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.
Southbound I-5 from Penrose Street to Hollywood Way, up to three lanes from 12 a.m. to 6 a.m.

Northbound I-5 from Penrose Street to Sheldon Street/Laurel Canyon Boulevard from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.

2.) Daniel (Daniel_Buck)
3.) Kurt (Rat Patrol)
4.) Al (the_al_mighty)
5.) Mike (Deepwater)
6.) Alan (Explorerlyon)
7.) Mike (Toolman)
8.) Jason
9.) Grizzly_99TJ and The Misses

[daniel_buck]

but the 5 itself isn't closed, right? it might just be slow? Thanks for the warning, I'll leave a little bit early, even though I think I'll only be on the 5 north of where the construction is? I get on the 5 from the 405

[Jason]

Not closed. Just traffic. I remember last year when I was going on a Miller run, just as I was passing through the 170/5 interchange there were lane closures and it took me about 45 min just to get through that area. So just a heads up.
