ACH will be closed when this drive is scheduled to occur, there is a washout before Islip Saddle, the westbound lane slid down the side. The damage is pretty extensive and is going to take some stabilization.




A word of warning, the forest day passes are voluntary, you don't need to buy them in order to park along side the roadway. The USFS issued 'tickets' are nothing more than begging for cash, they have no teeth if you don't pay them.

USFS law enforcement tickets however are enforceable and they like to write tickets for things like no front plates and other ticky-tac equipment violations.

I'm new, don't know if what I said is common knowledge or not around here but always good to share helpful information.

Sincerely,

SWC (one of the roadster guys from cr.net)

See you n the 15th!

Well, that kinda blows. I'll talk to Sean tonight and we'll decide what to do next. Probably just go to the next position Palomar.

So the entire ACH will be closed because of the washout?

The area of the closure right now is from Islip Saddle to Big Pines.

No, the road is closed about 11 miles past Newcombs Ranch, just before the tunnels at Eagles Roost Picnic Area. This is actually a few miles before Islip Saddle. The closure from Islip Saddle to Big Pines is the yearly winter closure which is usually lifted around this time of year but with record snowfall over the winter they are talking about June.

Meh, maybe. If you're headed for Palomar then no.

If you had your heart set on Wrightwood then yes but if you just wanted to peruse the Angeles National Forest let me throw this out.

AARP asked me to do a little somethin'.
