Is the dam construction affecting traffic? Going UTH on Friday the 2nd and wondering which way is better this year....

Depending on when, there has been some delays at the Dam due to construction. I prefer hwy 38 over the 330/18 anyway so not an impact to me. I use the back way (Hwy 18 via Lucerne) a lot as my folks live in Palm Springs.

18 thru lucerne.. all flat til you hit the cement plane then 15 mins of mountain driving and you're here

Gotta agree with Mel, thats an easy way uth. Frankly have to admit I've never seen the cement plane though.

I have usually used the 330/18 and on occasion used 38 (nice easy drive)
However I have never used the 15 (coming from SD) to ? Bear Valley Rd to 18 the back way......does that add a lot of time verus 38? Curves don't bother me but traffic kills me... Thanks for all the input....

I use 15 to Bear Valley to 18 when I bring up the boat. It adds about a half hour to the drive. Easy driving though.

330/18. I'm on the west side so the extra time taking the other routes is just not really worth it unless there is an accident or construction.

I prefer 18 to Victimville as well. Cement plane? I bet it has rocky landings and take offs.

Thanks for all the info..I may just try comiing UTH via Lucerne... Also I am sure he meant cement PLANT! however who would put a cement plant on the way UTH? Is it a Pine tree? or Cactus???? Does it have any significance? I'll look for it on the way up....

I said "cement plane" because that's what she wrote
Btw yes there is a cement plant kinda resembles a mushroom without a gnome

Sorry "Mel" in the future I will use SHIM since I have not had the opportunity to meet any of you....

Now I will go and look up "gmone"!!!
I didn't think of looking for a cement airplane! Now I will have to watch out for a possible cement mushroom, a plant of somekind pine or so and maybe a plane? Hope I don't go over the side looking for all of these.... Interesting road trip, however.
