California Traffic

LA Metro: Promoting Mass Transit from EMBARQ Network on Vimeo.

Traffic is a part of every day life for a commuter in Southern California. Moving here from Vermont, it's something I am not used to at all. I live about 45 minutes away from work but around 9 in the morning or 5 at night on a weekday that drive can take 2 hours in a slow crawl. There are 5 lanes! How does that happen?! Here is a little video from some people with the right idea.

VT to CA Roadtrip

I just got back to Vermont from working at Quiksilver/Roxy for a little over 3 months in Southern California. If I wanted to have a car while I was out there I had to drive out. Sure this might sound fun, but when you have to do the drive in three days by yourself... it can be a bit crazy. On average I drove about 15 hours a day. To keep myself occupied I filmed my entire drive out there. I took the middle route so that I could hit Colorado and see some family. I finally got the chance to put together the footage of my trip.... here it is. Everything was filmed on my Canon G9. Let it load for a bit.
