Put a front plate on and join the parade. Eight of us went up a couple weeks ago and had no problems with anyone, it was nice. You gonna get up in numbers you'll likely have issues, run six-eight cars at a time and meet someplace on the other side. |
It's open! It's all open, every piece of road, I spent yesterday killing a tank of gas up there. I started in La Canada went to Wrightwood, then to Tajunga and ended up back in La Canada. Awesomeness! There are two temporary signals in use up on the crest, one where the mountain seems to be halfway on the road, and the other where the road seems to be halfway down the mountain, these two spots are down to one lane. I did see two CHP motorcycles up on the crest, one at the end of a very long straightaway, the other about a mile before(west) of the tunnels. Both times I was warned by a motorcycle rider going the other way. But the E55 in front of must not have known what it meant when the rider patted the top of his helmet, he floored it down the straight and got to have a meeting with the CHP officer. As far as road conditions, the new front side is smooth as a babys butt, stays that way on to the crest. After a while it goes back the the old pavement, but is still very clean. After passing Mt. Waterman I started seeing some road debris (rocks) not a lot of them but a few big ones, at one point I needed to be mostly in the other lane to avoid them. But these are all the charms of driving in the mountains, I had a great day and hope you guys and gals do too. Don't think I will be able to join you on the 12th.

Thank you Sean. The parking lot in the back looks almost deserted…or are we meeting in the main Vons parking lot?

Since there is 7 pages on this.
Is this correct. Meeting at Vons in LaCanada noon ending up at fuddruckers, ontario mills mall. You probably know this already but exiting the 15 at Cleghorn rd (just south of 138) is a stretch of old 66. road is in good shape and would make a good pic stop. You return to the 15 before the 15/215 split. |

fyi, there were two fatal accidents yesterday on Angeles Crest Hwy, so as one article stated "The CHP has intensified traffic enforcement efforts along the roadway since its reopening on June 3."

Lovely,
And I don't even have the front plate for my car. No one ever installed it and I'm 3rd owner. |

I'd say aggressive driving up there this weekend is out of the question unless someone wants to just slowly cruise it. Itll be a waste and too risky if youre a canyon carver. If they were giving chicken $hit tickets for front plates be assured theyll find anything to detour "performance cars" from hitting the twisties.
