Route to San Diego

Hey, planning an LA to San Diego ride in the next month. Can anyone tell me if there are extra steps
necessary for the ride through Camp Pendleton these days (haven't ridden this route in a couple
years)? Is it even open or do I need to travel the *gasp* freeway?

Thanks!

I saw a recent tour report (http://www.cushwafamily.com/la2jax) that on March 4th, Dave and Will
Cushwa cycled on I-5 because of Camp Pendleton being closed. Will is a 3th grader and Dave is his
father. They recently finished riding the southern tier of US on a tandem and have posted their trip
log on web site above.

Thanks for the info -

How's the ride? Any particular challenges? I've driven it but never noticed how wide it is - has
anyone had troubles of any kind? I assume there aren't many hills to speak of...

Never mind - just realized it's only about an 8 mile stretch - thought it was a lot longer for
some reason...
