The fog around Bakersfield. About 10 feet visibility, maybe less.
Long lines of cars and big trucks, 70 mph plus, each driving off the forward guy’s tail lights, and close so they can see them.
If you pull off the road, better cover your rear lights and reflectors, or they will ‘follow’ you.
And guess what . . . any little glitch and it’s a 50 plus car pile-up.
Wife and I took a driving vacation in the ‘80s to CA to visit a couple of her siblings. We left Bakersfield very early one morning to drive to Las Vegas.
The two lane road over Tehatchapi Pass was just thick fog and we could only see maybe 10 feet ahead. Wife was driving about 15mph and I was hanging out the passenger window to see the white line marking the road edge and giving her directions. Would have been a long drop down the cliff.
