Friends and I would hit Newombs a couple times a year. I lived in the Temecula area and started going there from the east side thru Wrightwood. Taking the eastern approach was never a problem except for one winter where there was some icy spots in the shade. I really had to tiptoe on my Concourse that day. With coming up from Pasadena on any Saturday you really are taking a risk with an accident with some squid.
