Highway 2 status from La Canada?The Caltrans listing has changed. I also noticed the Mt Wilson website had mentioned they hoped the road would be open soon, so visitors could resume activities at the observatory.
Anyone live close enough to go see if the gate is open?

If you get really desperate you can bring a Chuck Norris lookalike with you.

Chuck Norris doesn't drive ACH. He subjugates it.

Chuck Norris doesn't hike the Angeles. He stands in one spot and demands the mountain move beneath him.

just a little update, we have sent about 500 yards of concrete up there. I am loading 6 trucks now and they seem to be working hard up there. I heard one of the construction guys had a rattler bite him.

Thanks yobtaf. That's interesting stuff. I just called CalTrans today - got a very nice, very patient guy who told me they were 'getting a lot of calls' about when the road would open...He didn't have a firm date, though. Sometime in the next few weeks...
He also said the forest service is not in a hurry for it to open, of course, because it will make keeping people out of the forest a bit difficult.

Hope so. I can understand not wanting people in the forest right now - how about a "secret" re-opening, where they only tell nature geeks like us? I don't mean to be elitist, but wouldn't it be nice if the only folks up there were the "leave no trace" behind type?
