La, traffic. Miles and miles of it.  We did a lot of sitting on the road (notice how it's one lane, there's nothing coming the other way, and there's nothing but trees out here) It was a long, hot trip.  Something that I can make in 3 and a half hours, took us a total of 8 hours. We left that morning around 7 am and still had problems getting there, obviously.  Thankfully, at one long stretch, this guy showed up and said if we wanted to get around all of this, to follow him, so we did, and we saved off many another hour's worth of sitting around.
