Yes - US 395 is used as a training road for CHP graduates - they learn to drive fast without being in heavy traffic. You'll find a lot of them from Lone Pine (actually farther south to Ridgecrest) all the way to the Nevada border at Topaz Lake. They also inhabit the mountain passes - CA-108, CA-89, CA-88 & US 50.

Pretty much resigned to it. They are not going to cramp my style. Not to disparage your home state...but...let me count the ways...starting with diesel fuel cost that jumped a dollar a gallon as soon as I crossed the border from Arizona. Next...I've been driving the speed limit since Florida, mostly 70-75, and as soon as I hit California...suddenly!!!...I am unsafe at anything over 55, because I am pulling a trailer. wtf? (BTW, I am authorized criticism because I lived here). ;)

Don't they have a 85 or 90 speed limit on some of the interstates now?

We're leaving for Vegas tomorrow morning. Too much stuff to even think about bringing the GT. Parts of I15 south of where I70 crosses is also 85. And the parts of I70 through some parts of Utah are really fun driving roads, even in a Dodge Ram 1500 or Jeep Grand Cherokee :)

Just finished day two with an leisurely 480 mile drive from Grand Island, NE to Breckenridge, CO with a nice lunch in Sterling, CO. Cold and rain up here in Breckenridge, 100 degrees in Nebraska to 60 and rain all in less than 6 hours. Rest tomorrow then off to Salt Lake City Sunday morning to pick up someone special.

Mark very good of you to detour to Salt lake .. the detour in Tahoe is a nice touch. Delivery to room. #2014, is not optional!

You should probably wear your helmet no matter what.
