Hope you can make it, m.e. Looking forward to it.
Suggest we plan to head uphill from Travel Town to the Observatory, then down into Los Feliz (rather than the opposite route). I agree that will be a far better route with the worst of the potholes and dirt patches on the way up, rather than on the descent.
See you all there!
