high winds in Palm Spring

weather turned to crap Yeah, it's 55G65 here at Mojave now, and cold. Pretty miserable. 40 kts in Tehachapi with snow :-). Marc, regarding Tehachapi pass, how does that compare to Tejon pass? My planned route was to follow 5 to Gorman and then turn to Palmdale. Tejon pass is lower and less windy (usually), as is western Antelope Valley, but going over BFL/TSP/MHV/PMD rather than Gorman/PMD keeps you closer to airports - there's nothing in the western Antelope Valley. 8500 ft. over Tehachapi is higher than anything surrounding you, and keeps you high enough to stay out of the worse turbulence down lower - you're 3K ft. over the windmill ridge. Plus, Tehachapi is prettier :-). -- Marc J. Zeitlin
