Read an article online that it might open in the Spring of 09. Any of you guys up near there hear anything about it ? Beginning our San Diego to Laguna ride planning for July. Sure as hell would be nice to go through there instead of skirting it around the base through Palmdale.

Cheers.

Gonna be a lot more traffic on it after it opens up again. Hope it doesn't get like Ortega - a friggin commuter road.

Rode the Crest today into Wrightwood...first time for me (all the way through). What an awesome ride! It was beautiful up there today! Not the LEO presence I was expecting, and not really alot of traffic. 120mile round trip La Canada to Wrightwood and back!

Road conditions?

Rode all the way through on Saturday and the road conditions were near perfect. There was only one turn the whole way that was junky, other than a rock here and there. What an awesome ride!!! Glad it is open again.

That's awesome ! Been such a long time coming. Can't wait to hit it through there on the way to Laguna.

Prolly goes without saying, but watch for cops on ACH. I was up there yesterday and there were three of them in a short 9 mile stretch (from Upper Big Tujunga to Newcomb's Ranch). Hard to enjoy the ride while being so paranoid about going above 55 mph. Pass 1, think you're cool, go a little faster and then instantly get signaled from riders coming the other way about another ahead.

Thanks for the heads up. Much appreciated ! I am hoping that since we are headed through on a weekday maybe the LEO presence will be diminished.

I am sure that will make a huge difference. Have a great trip, wish I was going.
