The defense contractors and all these other government contractors that live off of taxpayers money are far more expensive tricks than the one's you find in the hood.

Also Hwy 39 ends at Hwy 2 when I worked at Cajon Pass Maintenance Yard I did the same work on Hwy 2 to Hwy 39 it was really Cool but it could be dangerous had to be on alert.

I drove that road when it was still drivable. I'm so glad to see it get some exposure. The scenic views across the Mojave Desert to the Tehachapi's were fantastic. Unfortunately, it's still a young mountain range and it's moving all the time.

I learned today that Caltrans is studying how to repair this collapsed section of highway. According to a local paper, there was a public hearing on the proposal on December 10, but I only learned about it today. Anyway, I hope these plans eventually become a reality.

Could have had Army Corps. of Engineers do it.

Highly recommend taking Hwy 2 from Santa Monica to Wrightwood, truly a scenic route.

Remember the days in high school, would drive up Hwy 39 and come down Hwy 2 to La Canada. Also up Hwy 2 past the ski areas Mount Waterman and Kratka Ridge where I learned to ski, to Wrightwood. You are in the forest surrounded by pines and the desert at a distance. It has to be the most beautiful drives in Los Angeles.

Hwy 39 and Hwy 173 in (big bear}, need to be repaired and open to the public, they make good fire escape routes, and will reduce traffic in the area.

The most beautiful drive is I-10 east to Palm Springs . . . and going further to leave California completely! It's 1000 miles of desert driving, but it takes you to states and regions where you can live a free, responsible life without high taxes, dangerous Covid mandates, and corrupt politicians who've rigged the system so that they can't be voted out. Disclosure: this is written by a formerly lifelong Californian who's relieved to now live in Texas.
