seems like it took me 3 hours to get up 9 mile canyon towing a trailer,i kept looking at all the transmission oil slicks on the way upIt looks like taking the 99 t going through Tehachapi to the 14 is about 260 miles and 5 hours. Only 32 miles of mountain driving once you turn off of 395 at 9 Mile Canyon until you get to Troy Meadows campground were we usually stage from (which is where I will be tomorrow afternoon)
