I just left there and its sure to be cleaned out tonight.  They made lots of progress while watching.  It was really cool to see the plow  pushing the mud and then when it reaches the edge of the wash starts a cascade of mud into a mudfall.  Thank god for our new way back home when Lone Pine closes.

Rennman is on his way home from the Ontario Airport, (just left). Can someone that is in the know please post as soon as LPC is open?  He's going to call when he gets closer to see if the status has changed.

Thanks!

Hey, Angelwolf.  You caught the rear view of my two teens in your pictures.  They really enjoy checking out the wash when it floods.  My son felt sorry for the tow truck driver who had to go into the mud to retrieve the van.

Can Lone pine be traveled if you go past the closed signs or is the road closed before you get to the wash?  My son is on his way up.  In the past the closed signs went up whenever the wash past East Canyon was blocked. 

Does this make sense?  If my son goes around the closed signs, can he get to East Canyon?

Angelwolf, my son is the one in the striped shirt with the skateboard. My daughter is next to him in the sweatshirt.

Chatty Cathy, There were 2 mudslides.  One at the upper esses and the other at the wash.   We were just able to bring our car home thru the first mudslide at the essess.  It was mostly clear but a little slushy still so anyone going thru there should be careful. We live down East Canyon.  It looks like your son will be able to get home if he goes around the closed signs.

Lone Pine Canyon at the wash is now open.  I was one of the unfortunate ones that coming home, had to turn around at the top esses because I was told they were turning everyone around.  This was at about 5:00, because of that I didn't get home until 6 because I had to go through Phelan.

Luckily my son got to Lone Pine right as they were taking the signs down.

Hello all!  I made it home, but since we didn't know if LPC was open, I took the long way home through the Cajon Pass, 395, Phelan Road and Beekley.

Looks like I just missed our thunderstorm.   Coincidentally, as the plane was leaving Denver last night, we just missed another thunderstorm by under a minute.  I saw a lightning strike about 5 miles west of the runway, as the plane was climbing out.

More rain please, but in a less violent form, and much longer duration...

The rain is really coming down right now.  It should only be a matter of time before LPC is closed again.  :(

Is it just me or is it silly to risk your car and your life to save a few minutes by driving through obviously flowing mud, rock and water?  People have been watching too many Hummer commercials.

Closed - huge boulders in the way.  And now, of course, another idiot's truck is stuck!  Can't believe people think they can make it through.
Now I am thinking - instead of messing with Hwy 2, how about a bridge over the wash?!!  Oh wait, that just makes sense!
