Oh man! If it wasn't for sasha_khan's lj, I wouldn't have known anything was going on! I mean you'd think in a city the size of LA, that people turning into zombies would, you know, get on the news! I thought those people just hadn't made it to Starbucks yet!

My car is packed with camping gear, though not as much as if I'd really known this would happen, but all the food and the rest is up with Terry and Bill in Bakersfield. I'm calling Jen, and then going to pick her up and get out of town fast! Fortunately I've got a full tank of gas and ideas on other ways (other then the freeway) to leave LA.

I guess it's too late to get Thomas to teach me to shoot a gun. Jen knows how though and Bill has several. We just need to make it to Bakersfield alive.

I just want to say I love all my LJ friends! :)

I picked up Jen and we packed her stuff into my car. And she had food and water that we packed in as well. And she has a gun. I'm not sure where she got it....she didn't want to talk about it at all. So, she's riding shotgun and I'm driving. The plan is still to make it up to Bakersfield, get my sister and her family and then head up into the mountains. But it's a total mess out here. Traffic just sucks. Oh wait...that's pretty normal.

Actually I think we made it out just in time. The radio reports that the police are trying to get everyone off the streets. And the highway patrol have closed the freeway behind us. They want everyone to go home.

I ran one of them down with my car and kept wishing had a much bigger SUV. We stopped after awhile to clean off the windshield. I never thought anything like this could ever happen.....

Update

We made it up to Bakersfield....things were really tense for a while. We saw a highway patrolman who had turned. Fortunately, we fell in with a couple of guys in a black classic Impala and they blew the zombie chippy away. They lead the way in their car up the rest of the way up the grapevine. My Bakersfield family is all fine and we're packing up their SUV and we'll take both cars up to Yosemite. I'm afraid I'm going to have to go radio silent after this.

Good luck to us all!
