Is ACH closed?

[Sachica]

Yep  

This is a quote from the Los Angeles Times 9/4:

"More than 40 miles of the Angeles Crest Highway from La Canada Flintridge to Islip Saddle have been closed indefinitely because of the Station Fire, which has burned off road stripping and destroyed guard rails and signage along the scenic route, Caltrans officials said.

Judy Gish, a Caltrans spokeswoman, said the highway’s pavement remains largely intact, though further damage to the 66-mile road is possible as the fire continues. She said it was too soon to estimate the cost to repair the highway or when it could be reopened."

Sad news for everyone. I do believe Newcomb's is still standing.

Thanks erkishhorde, I'm glad someone appreciated the appendage that greatly reduces drag, turbulence and buffering, providing me with unprecedented aerodyamic performance.

a co-worker who lives near Big Tujunga rd said today that he saw a few crotch rockets blasting towards the crest over the  weekend.

Anyone have any info on wether ACH is open yet?

I've heard murmurings that you can get to Newcombs but no further. Not sure if they're true though.
