Warning everyone - I was there about 4 weeks ago and there was a lot of gravel on the road, and also falling from the hillsides. I left the gas station at the bottom at around 6:45 am, and on the way back form the ranch there was still gravel falling. Likely because of some winds on that day, not atypical at this time of year. Enjoy.
Was up there last Friday with the GT3 and Monday with my bike and it was fine. We got snow a few weeks ago and it is true that following the storm there was gravel/salt/rocks on the road. But the gravel/salt is mostly gone now. However, rocks are always present, all year long.
That being said, the Crest is NOT a race track so let's make sure we enjoy our cars responsibly and watch out for the road conditions.
I may do a quick run tomorrow or Friday and will report back if I notice any unusual hazards.
A few of us, SoCal 997 GT3 owners, will meet up for a drive up the Angeles Crest Highway/Angeles Forest Highway/Upper Big Tujunga Canyon to Newcomb's ranch.
The plan is to meet this Saturday 2/20 8am at the upper parking lot of the Target in La Canada. Address: 980 Town Center Dr, La Cañada Flintridge, CA 91011
Had wheels off the ground for an oil change yesterday and noticed wire showing on the inside of R rear tire. Couldn't get a new set of PS4S today, so won't be going tomorrow. Next time, I hope.

thank you so much for putting this together, I had a blast. It was definitely weird to see Newcombs empty very eerie.
I’m in for the next one or even a track day
be safe

Same here. Thanks Patrick. Nice meeting you guys, and so sorry we left without Raudi Driver. I had forgotten my radar detector and was so surprised that once we got up 2 a little bit there was no LE. At all.

Even after the honeydo roadblocks I faced this am, I was able to get out of the house when my son awoke and said he would go. We managed to meet up, even if it was only for a minute, and it was totally worth it. Thanks to Patrick for setting this up.
On my way up, I saw you guys flying down and was like, they appear to be having slightly more fun than I am. I blasted to Newcombs and then hightailed it back down thinking you guys were gone as you folks had a nice pace going. Glad you decided you didn't get enough cold morning air and pit stopped for a few.
Kevin, your 997.2 looks like it's brand spanking new. Congrats. Looks great even though I really wanted to see those stripes and those hips on that 992. Oh man
