Road Conditions 11/11/06 - Highland, Old Julian, Palomar

lovinmyf4i · 11-11-2006, 07:06 PM

I went out and hit Highland Valey, Old Julian, Mesa Grande and both sides of Palomar today... here were the conditions:

Highland Valley - dirt in the usual spots, nothing too bad. Water running across road by the Christmas tree farm

Old Julian - Nice and clean after the construction at the beginning. There is one new pothole just past the construction to watch out for, before you make the left to get to the twisties.

Mesa Grande - Pretty clean, business as usual.

Palomar East Grade (fast side) - The fast side is F*CKED! They were clearing the shoulders for drainage or something and there's dirt all over the road in both lanes. Runs pretty much all the way up. :banghead

Palomar South Grade (tight side) - Pretty clean, some dirt in a few places but nothing too bad... mostly near the edge of the road on the upper section. Bottom half is good to go. :thumbup

It was a good ride today... except sitting in stop and go traffic on stupid Lake Wohlford Rd for 40 minutes! GRRRRRR. :moon

Heard there was a accident or something around that area and people were being detoured.

lovinmyf4i · 11-11-2006, 07:12 PM

Around what area? Road was clear when Mike and I were up there around noon.

SPACEBOY · 11-11-2006, 07:14 PM

Around Valley center rd and Lake wohlferd rd area.

lovinmyf4i · 11-11-2006, 07:16 PM

Oh there. Hmm, guess so. I didn't see any accident but it was backed way up from the traffic light to turn left onto Valley Center from Lake wohlford. The would make sense.

SPACEBOY · 11-11-2006, 07:19 PM

They have a light at that intersection now? :headscratch

lovinmyf4i · 11-11-2006, 07:28 PM

We're talking about the same intersection, right? Yeah there's a light there.

SPACEBOY · 11-11-2006, 07:32 PM

Yup that intersetion. They had cones in the road last week when I went through there but I did not see anything to do with a signal there. It didn't really strike me as a place that needed a signal. :dunno

lovinmyf4i · 11-11-2006, 07:33 PM

I didn't remember there not being a signal there, but I don't usually go that way so I guess I just didn't realize it was different!

SPACEBOY · 11-11-2006, 07:34 PM

Oh wait, maybe it is the other end where they connect again by the casino.
