It was very clear indeed! Pretty damn hot, but dry and with a breeze that swept out all the schmutz. I was glad for that!
Ha, I love stories of people who drive down railroad tracks or off the road because their GPS told them to. Are there people THAT dependent on technology, that they won't trust their own eyes telling them there's no there there? Don't answer that. :) Anyway, around LA I used my iPhone with the Waze app, which is my navigator of choice these days. It's not always as good as Google Maps when it comes to finding places and picking the easiest route, but I like the interface, and I like that it's a community of users who actively report on traffic conditions, road hazards, police activity, etc. And it will automatically re-route around traffic slowdowns, which can be nice. It worked well enough to get me to Griffith Park, but from there I just followed the signs up to the observatory. And found a parking spot, thankfully--it was so busy cars were parking along the road for half a mile leading up to the top, which did not bode well.
