Hey all,

With all the times I've been to DL, I've never driven from my home (downtown LA, by USC) to DL on a weekday morning. Tomorrow I plan to go with a friend who hasn't been since she was 7! For those of you who drive the 5 south in the mornings, what's it like? Since the park opens at 9, I was thinking of leaving about 7:30 or so? What do you think? I was looking at the morning news traffic map this morning, and 5N looked a lot worse than 5S. Any experiential adivce would be appreciated! Thanks! :D

There are several different routes down to the park (luckily). I've actually taken the 110 S to the 91 E to the 5 S a few times from my office at Wilshire/Normandie. 7/7:30 should be plenty of time (unless it rains) -- 30 minutes before the park opens the parking lot opens. check sigalert.com that morning and compare routes. Northbound is usually much worse than southbound....
