I can totally testify here! If it's raining, I take PCH to work from
Laguna Niguel to Newport Beach. Otherwise, I usually take the 73. The
73 turns into a skating rink when it rains and between that and the
CHP trying to catch toll runners, it gets backed up like you wouldn't
believe. Heck, the 73 gets backed up if there are more than 3 clouds
in the sky! And fergetaboutit if it's foggy.

Of course, all bets are off from Memorial Day to Labor Day, as I won't
drive PCH at *all* due to the high volume of tourists clogging up
Laguna Beach.

OB: The so-called Mexican restauarant called "Las Brisas" in Laguna
Beach has the worst menu/kitchen in Laguna Beach, IMHO. AFAICS, the
better the view (of the ocean), the worse the food.
