Come see the Ridge Route! Road Surveys and Pothole Project

Have you wanted to see the Old Ridge Route? We have two potential ways coming up!

August 17th – Gold Member Road Survey

This is the first of its kind… we will be thanking our Gold Members for their support by opening up one of our regular road surveys! This is usually a board members only experience.

We will drive from Castaic to Gorman through the Old Ridge Route, looking a different impacted areas, planning out future work days and talking about the history of the road – Like a Ridge Route Open House! We want our supporters to have a say in the road and experience it firsthand. If you are not currently a Gold Member but would like to become one, you can join here! Gold Membership is $70/person and dues go towards road repairs.

August 18th – Pothole Project

Meeting at the site of Sandberg’s Summit Hotel at 8AM. This is the last Pothole Project date of the season before we switch gears to winter prep.

We will be filling potholes in the Horseshoe Bend area. Expect to work for about 2 hours. Sweeping, use of a leaf blower, shoveling, raking and moving bags of cold patch. Then we will take an optional drive down the Old Ridge Route to Castaic and looking at the various historic locations and clearing any obstacles along the way.

We welcome anyone who would like to learn about the road, even if you might be unable to do physical labor. Photographers (even on an iPhone) are always helpful as well as spotters to keep watch for cars coming.
