From 9:30 p.m. until 3 a.m. only the far right-hand lane will be open. A second lane will open by 3 a.m. and all lanes will reopen by 5:30 a.m.

I am on my sojourn with fellow retired Ramona Unified School District
teacher Mike Jordan and his beautiful wife, Linda. Having Mike and
Linda here with my wife, Margaret, is a blessing.
Mike and I like to participate in outdoor activities. Linda and
