We were going to do 5 but there was only 1 lane open due to a fire that occurred Thursday and it ruined part of the north bound barrier and road. Driving those 6 hours it was 100 degrees then 82 degrees on the coast part and driving though the farming areas near Salinas 105 degrees! I thought how awful it must be for the farm workers in that heat.
