19-mile backup on I-15 as holiday traffic hits California-Nevada border

[GGD]

In the mid 1980's to mid 1990's I used to drive from the SF Bay area to the Los Angeles area on the Wed evening before Thanksgiving. The traffic on I-5 was backed up for hundreds of miles, all the way to where 101 exits onto 152 East in Gilroy.

Coming back home was always better because the traffic was distributed over several days.
