Re: [IRCA] Question for N.W. DXers OT

["Mark McCarthy" <mark.mccarthy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Don,

I live a couple of miles North of the Southern split between 5 and 205 and
work a couple of miles South of the split, so I drive this every day.

If it is late afternoon or early evening on a Friday, take 205, but you will
be unhappy either way.

If it is 10 AM - 3 PM and not Friday, take 5.

If you are not sure, take 205.

Bottom line:  avoid Fridays if you can and the traffic is fine compared to
SF or Seattle.

The entire state of Washington is a crap shoot.  I will only go there twice
a year to see the Red Sox play.  Sometimes it is great, sometimes it is 1 AM
and I am in the middle of nowhere stopped on 5 waiting for construction
delays.
