Pete,your car should do 3-400 miles,that should get us Californios out of disaster area.If road conditions allow.
During an emergency I would cut that estimated distance in half. And many people would run out of gas, food, diapers, water. Unless I have no other option, I'm staying put. Can you imagine being stuck on the 405, the 10, or the 5 in the middle of summer? **shudders**
Point I was going to make,you need to stay off the main roads and take the smaller less traveled less known routes.
Down in Disneyland,Anaheim Ca,the main roads can get clogged pretty easily.The locals know how to cut through neighborhoods and even with slower speeds and stop signs you get where you are going during rush periods much faster.
So knowledge of less traveled routes to where you need/imagine you might go should be in your knowledge base.
The thread back awhile about riots,we did some dry runs to get out of town where we work,in an emergency if I can get past a couple potential bottlenecks we would be far ahead of the herd.
Having ability to drive over curbs and up dirt embankments is also a very nice thing.
Once I went 4x4,cant believe I spent 45 years not ever having been exposed to it,would never go back,no way,no how.Should have started when I was 18 I now feel in hindsight.
Just doesnt make sense to me anymore not too,IMO,YMMV.
One of our better preps for sure,and its always with us.The 4x4 broken record continues,but I truly believe it so its a mantra from me.
