Another interesting thing to note: When traveling north on the 15 freeway between Escondido and Lake Elsinore there is a California Highway Patrol check point and station on the 15 freeway just north of Pala at the San Diego/Riverside county line. That might have a lot to do with why he chose Pala! Doubt he wanted to chance driving through that with Amber in his car!!!
Yeah, though it's not open all of the time and there are patterns to it, definitely another reason not to have gone further, at least not if he really was on the 15.
That's a pretty heavily patrolled stretch of freeway because there's not along the exits there and so people tend to be very heavy footed. Overall it'd be a risky way to take her (main freeway) which also makes me wonder if he went that back way and avoided 15 altogether.
He actually also could have continued north on Broadway from Amber's school, and then that runs up to a road that he could have easily taken up to Lilac, still getting up to Pala without going on the freeway, BUT going straight from Amber's school and avoiding the twisting back roads.
Wonder if he was really brazen enough to go on the freeway? Or on a more heavily travelled surface street? Or if he'd stick to the more rural roads where it's rare to pass a cop?
