Hey,
Anyone notice that a stretch of Angeles Crest Highway has reopened today?

Not sure why the Times only spoke of the 2-wheelers expected giddiness. Be careful of the rocks. Looks like a minefield in spots when they shot the video.

Cool. Now there is a more fun route to get to I15.

That great. I fly over that road all the time and always wonder when it'll re-open for traffic.

I miss Susan Carpenter's write ups on various bikes she has tested. I doubt many could keep up with her in the twisties.

39 has always been closed after Cystal Lake camp ground for at least 20+ years that I know of. I haven't been up there in years, and just about 9 months ago, We decided to drive up with the kids in the van just to burn some gas. There's a lock gate about 5 miles or so beyond Esat fork. Anyone know what the deal is with that? Is the camp ground close for good due to the stupid people or...?

I think that's where Jason killed all those campers in the '80s!

That's why I never camp at the toilet bowl because of Jason. If you been up there in the 80's you know what I am talking about. They have since clean it up. Heck I couldn't even drive in the early part of the 80s.

umm... I wonder how can they fix something like this?
BTW, what are those red lines? Blood?
