They are probably worried that if the road gets new asphalt, it will be Le Mans up there on Mulholland. But it's too dangerous now, maybe at 2:00 am on a weeknight it might work, maybe. However I cannot recommend it anymore............I miss the old days just like the rest of you. [/B]

I remember in the summer of 1987 they did a full re-pave from Barham to the Glen. I had just bought a Starion ESiR and it was like glass. Fall came and they paved from the Glen all the way to Encino Hills. For a about 3 years there was a spike of activity. Nothing like the late 70's but the road was smoother than it had been as long as I could remember.
Major construction projects west of the Glen (where the surveillance cameras are) caused a lot of heavy truck traffic back and forth. This took its toll and accelerated the degradation on the road again. Runoff has forever been a problem.
Dixie Canyon was fun. Dark and quiet. I remember when I was going south up to Mul the home at the top of the ridge always had these flood lights that would radiate out into the mist on the valley side.
Camino de le Cumbre was also cool. The S turns at the lower part by the girls school. Flat turns but you could carve around them.
