@Windy - Caltrans did say that there will be NO LANE CLOSURES Friday - Tuesday due to the MLK holiday.
bullet Craig ⭐ on Friday 16 January 2026 - 09:09:29
Windy, Caltrans has been good about showing the closure of 38 all week and right now they are not showing it closed on their Quickmap product. Thinking they are keeping it open an extra 2 days (Fri and Mon) for the MLK holiday??? We have not heard anything official from them on this subject.

About the dirt bike rider. He was finally stopped on Maple in Sugarloaf around the HS, I went by around 3:50 and there were 4 Sheriff vehicles and an undercover unit too. That's about all I can provide as I only drove by and it's looked a bit crazy for a dirt bike but I don't know the back story

I'm on Cypress and a dirt bike went by my house with a sheriff vehicle in pursuit. I did hear their sirens briefly as they may have turned on when on State Street. Helo was circling over the cemetery I was told by a friend

Big Bear Deb,
Not real sure but i hope folks used turnouts to let them pass. Hope everyone is ok.

Anybody know what happened out here in Irwin Lake on Pine Lane 800 block. There were 6 sheriff cars, and when they were heading east, they were going super fast.

anyone know if they are going to put park features in at snow valley soon? My little brother wants to come visit but that place is much cheaper

@ BootsNBridles - brilliantly said

@ CHECK-SIX - hilariously said

@ butterflyaway - yes we DO, thanks for the prayers

...and it case you missed the manned re-entry WAY early this morning, it was epic. Saw it in Chino, it was again, EPIC!!

You guys need some snow. I’m praying for you!
bullet Doggie Daddy on Thursday 15 January 2026 - 09:08:11
I'm with you, Boots. Patience and consideration for others are the keys to a safe and relaxed drive. Not just on our mountain, but everywhere you go. I never would have survived 30 years of commuting if I had been aggressive and constantly aggravated.
bullet watchful on Thursday 15 January 2026 - 07:11:00
Ditto that, CHECK-SIX. I'm happy to let a fast-tracker zoom ahead. That way, if a blind curve in the road has a boulder (or deer or overturned car), THEY can hit it and spare me the trouble.

Unless it's another member of the family following or your wingman, i learned in Vietnam that tailgater at your six oclock wasn't your friend. Pull over let em pass.
Enjoy the slot at the rear. Calmer.

The thing about driving a two lane mtn road is BE NICE TO YOUR NEIGHBORS. There aren't other choices so move over if you can. Don't judge other people's speed- you don't know their expertise levels nor their reasoning- just do the polite thing and use a turnout. I really think the hotels and rentals should have a half page flyer explaining turnouts- how to spot them and how to use them. I want everyone to be able to drive the speed they are comfortable at - whether that is 30mph or 70mph. Stop pretending you know anything about the other drivers and MOVE OVER. Then everyone can be happy!

JSL I know that Caltrans observes the MLK holiday so my educated guess would be they will not have it closed on Monday, however, I can't give it a 100% without hearing officially from them....
bullet JSL on Wednesday 14 January 2026 - 18:21:05
Monday the 19th is a holiday, will Caltrans be taking the day off from working on SR-38? I looked at the caltrans FB page and can't find anything about that. Thanks.

Yesterday morning, San Bernardino County Fire responded to a structure fire in the 1300 block of Sequoia Drive in the community of Lake Arrowhead. Contractors at the site noticed smoke coming from the upper windows and called 911.

Love turnouts! I cannot wait to get to my home in Fawskin. Do not really care how long it takes!
bullet holeinbow on Wednesday 14 January 2026 - 16:47:58
I just dont like being in anybody elses hurry. Best is going down the hill, top passing lane, youll get idiots flying past at 70 or so. 2/3 of the way down theres a turnout big enough for the chp to tuck into til its too late for the speeder to see them, three times ive seen them dispense some much needed carma...
