Thanks for the update hermit! I have to travel down early myself. Yesterday after a delightful day at Victoria Gardens we sat for awhile on a closed freeway but made most of the way through side streets! BTW, the side street when you turn left, then right) on Sierra is now open and will take you to Glen Helen! WHOO HOO! However, yesterday there was a kind CHP that closed Glen Helen due to the fire. When we finally got back on the freeway we sat but then drove through the burning flames, It was a war zone on both sides of the roads! YIKES!
Careful out there!
