Angeles Crest Highway

So ladies and gentlemen

The angeles crest highway reopened today!

Good news and bad news!

First the good news i only had to drive 52 miles to work instead of the usual 72! WOOHOO saved some money! Also get to leave my house later than usual and still get to glendale on time!

It was a fun drive until i hit the bad news!

Once i got to the La Canada side or la side of the mountain it was gigantic rock city! Soooooooooooo bad i feel so bad for my car! Luckily the opposite traffic was closed off so i could go in and out of the lanes freely because sometimes you had to there was no way around it. I hit a couple of pretty nice ones and could hear it scratching all over my piping hopefully i dont go out to my car later and its leaking oil everywhere!

Just thought i would let you guys know that if you plan on taking the crest... Take your BRO TRUCK not the fit!

^^^ hey thats me!

haha i have no idea but i came from palmdale and went all the way through to la canada idk if its like that everyday with the boulders everywhere

but there was no one in the oncoming traffic lane the entire drive. i know this because i was in the opposite lane the whole time because of all the rock

I just wonder if theres so many rocks because they havent sweeped them off.

Cuz there were seriously giant rocks that WILL F up your car

hopefully they fix that ish i love that drive
