Hi,

Got some questions maybe some of you southern Californians might be able
to answer.

I'm going to be in LA & Santa Barbara next week on biz and I thought I'd
rent a Jeep so I can explore some back roads if I have time.

1. I got a decent quote from http://www.specialtyrentals.com for a TJ
Sport picked up at LAX. Anyone know of any other places in LA that rent
Jeeps? I'd kinda like to find a Sahara, Rubicon or something modified.

2. Any suggestions on areas to check out (or avoid!) around Santa
Barbara? Nice to find some scenic trails in the hills easily handled by
a stocker. Has everything turned to mud with all the recent rain?

3. What's the best route to navigate weekday rush hour traffic when
driving from Santa Barbara to LAX airport and hitting LA around 6pm?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,
Frazier Park is beautiful, and usually closed to us because of
forest fires, but we've set records in rain fall so it should be open:

Remember Los Angeles International is right in the middle of Watts,
where we'll treat like a King. Friends that live in close to Los
Angeles, leave for home early in the morning because the freeways are a
parking lot in the afternoons, everyday, especially Sunday.

Actually, Watts is further east. LAX is near El Segundo, a relatively
'normal' place (for CA) and just north of Manhattan Beach, which I think
is the coolest part of LA, and just south of Playa Del Rey, both of
which I've lived in.
