Change of plans

The Antelope Valley isn't a typical stop on the Howards Custom SoCal Tours itinerary for our foreign visitors.
But here we were, dressed and getting into the car with plans for a day out in Los Angeles on Saturday when we learned that all routes heading south from Santa Clarita were either jam-packed or closed because of a huge fiery crash in the Newhall Pass.
What to do? Stace thought of a good alternate (Placerita Canyon Road to Sand Canyon to Little Tujunga to the 210, for those of you familiar with the area) but then we heard the traffic reporter on the radio suggesting it as the best way for people to get out of town. "Town" also was choked with traffic as the 5 southbound was completely shut (and could be until Tuesday morning). So we instead went north, up in to Green Valley before heading to Blackbird Airpark with a Subway-supplied picnic lunch. The airpark features many military planes.
In the late afternoon we stopped for a nice walk around Vasquez Rocks, the site of many Western movies and commercials. Andy and Jen said they had a very nice time, despite the unplanned nature of our day. Thankfully, Stace came home early from work Friday and we went into Hollywood/Beverly Hills. That was meant to be obviously, as it's hard to say if/when it will be easy to get down there in the next few days with the closed freeway.
