June sounds good to me for a mt bike ride, ezzpete (and others?). When I get back during the last week of May I'll have to see what my schedule for the month looks like.

Wrightwood! i just got back from hiking to the Blue Ridge campground, starting at the parking area on sr2. where did you take those pics from? i didn't see a view like that.

all i could see when looking towards Wrightwood, was the side of a hill with ski lifts running along the ridge. nothing from the campground either. does the trail continue past the CG? the only other trail i could find was the PCT, is this from were you got those shots?

somewhere i recently saw a list of the local trails, and their condition. i can't seem to remember where though. has anyone seen this list? if not has anyone been to Mt. BP lately? is it still icy? i was at the parking lot a few days ago and some people were going up.

BP is good until right near the top, where there's ice.

thanks, my daughters and i want to do a hike this weekend, it's either BP or one of the peaks up icehouse canyon.

Any word yet on when the gate at Vincent's Gap will open? I keep hearing 2 more weeks but have been hearing that for a month.

ezzpete · « **Reply #108 on:** May 14, 04, 07:34:23 AM »

i'm waiting too, seems like the work is done.

I went up Baden Powell this past Saturday. Had an awesome time. Saw at least 50 people coming up as i was coming down. At the very bottom about ,50 yards from the trailhead, I came accross a rattler sitting right in the middle of the trail. From a distance it looked like a stick but as my dog almost stepped right on top of it i realized what it was. Luckily it didn't notice us until I pulled my dog back and it then curled up and let us know it didn't want us to pass. After a few rattles it headed back into the brush and hung out trailside with it's tail just barely visible from the trail. I warned a few people in the parking lot and they looked at me like i was crazy. Said they never heard of rattlers that high. Welcome to Wrightwood.

I heard that Cal Trans is looking at opening Hwy 2 on or around May 21st.

TableMtn,
Let's hope they do more than look at it

Thanks for the update

when does the road from insperation point to blue ridge campground and beyond open?

Supermodel · « **Reply #113 on:** May 18, 04, 01:10:44 PM »

NPR is reporting that Highway 2 is open. Any confirmation?

clint · « **Reply #114 on:** May 18, 04, 05:21:24 PM »

Yes. It was opened today.

TableMtn · « **Reply #115 on:** May 18, 04, 05:59:08 PM »

ezzpete--the forest service engineering department needs to grade the roads in that area before they can open it. They get a lot of rocks on the road. I talked to someone at Big Pines and she said they were supposed to be working that area within the next couple of weeks.

ezzpete · « **Reply #116 on:** May 19, 04, 12:40:42 AM »

thanks for the info. TableMtn.

BikingBrian · « **Reply #117 on:** May 20, 04, 12:46:37 PM »

Does anyone know if they clear away the rocks on part of Highway 39 that's closed to vehicle traffic? (Would like to take my bike on that section if it's clear.)

Thanks ... I think I promised I'd take some pictures if I make it out that way.
