I enjoy using the turnouts. It's nice to take a little break, enjoy the view, maybe have a snack and just decompress. I don't understand those folks who haul up like their butt is on fire and their hair is catching. Seems stressful to me.

TURNOUTS. No matter how frustrated we get and use headlights,horns etc some people will not use turnouts when possible. Could be they dont get it or are just being a jerk. Nothing will ever change this. Suck it up and arrive a few minutes later. Not worth getting into a TC to saving a few moments. Heck,i pull over for even one vehicle. The law is 5 i believe. So everyone stop getting thier panties in an uproar.

Weather permitting, people across California may have an opportunity to see a manned spacecraft reentry early Thursday (January 15) at 12:30 AM.

The primary landing opportunity is at approximately 12:40 a.m. PST in the ocean west of San Diego. The craft will approach from the northwest and could resemble a slow-moving meteor for observers from north of San Francisco to Ventura County. The craft may also produce a sonic boom as it parallels the coast before splashdown, which will not be audible in our area, just near the coast.

Its really simple. You are not in a hurry, we are. Please take a couple of seconds, when it is safe, to pull over and let us by. But, don't do be like the person this morning that pulled over at the beginning of a blind curve, on a shoulder that is about 3 feet wide. If you are trying to play CHP, you are making it more dangerous by frustrating the driver(s) behind you. I have seen some crazy stuff b/c someone wouldn't pull over.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO:

Have a great day from all of us at SCM!

This is a crack up. Moved the family up here 1990. First weekend reading Grizzly letter to editor is about a local explaining how when his headlights were in your backseat it was time to use a turnout. Some things just never change.

Kenai i totally agree w you. Can’t count the times we’ve been stuck behind someone who doesn’t seem to read the SLOWER TRAFFIC USE TURNOUT SIGNs,, last week we were stuck behind someone all the way for Runnimg Springs to lower passing lane. 20/30 cars behind him! He sped up on the straightaways and middle passing lane. Finally got around him at the lower passing lane by using the slow lane… Had to really get it. What morons!

Sounds like an Indiana Jones sized boulder on 5S11

From the San Bernardino National Forest:
📷 Road Hazard Alert – 5S11 📷

A large boulder (~ 5 ft X 10–12 ft) is currently blocking vehicle passage on Forest Road 5S11

• Heavy equipment will be required to remove the boulder

Reading about all the newer vehicle failures makes me glad i insist on older vehicles with a manual tranny, CVT transmissions or touchscreen flummery need not apply...
