Angeles Crest Highway
The Angeles Crest Highway is a two-lane (one lane of travel in each direction) segment of California State Route 2 in the United States.
The road is 66 miles (106 km) in length, with its western terminus at the intersection at Foothill Boulevard in La Cañada Flintridge and its eastern terminus at State Route 138 northeast of Wrightwood.
The majority of the route passes through the mountainous terrain located north of the Los Angeles basin.
Its alignment passes through the Angeles National Forest in the San Gabriel Mountains. Segments of the road reach altitudes above 7,000 feet (2,100 m), with a summit of 7,903 feet (2,409 m) at the Dawson Saddle, which makes this road one of the highest in Southern California.
The route is best described as mountain-rural. Because the route passes through the protected Angeles National Forest, development is very limited. There are not many buildings between La Cañada Flintridge and Wrightwood save for Newcomb's Ranch, campgrounds, and visitor centers. Other points of interest along the route include Mountain High and Mt. Waterman ski areas. Mount Wilson (and its corresponding observatory and various radio/television transmitters) are about 4.5 miles from the Angeles Crest Highway. Depending on the local weather, i.e. no clouds or fog, impressive views of the Los Angeles basin are possible from the vicinity of Mount Wilson; the most significant limit of what can be seen is the dense smog and/or marine layer covering the basin.
The Angeles Crest Highway winds through the mountains. The clouds in the distance cover Los Angeles.
The westernmost segment of the highway, combined with Angeles Forest Highway, is heavily travelled by southbound traffic in the morning (and corresponding northbound traffic in the afternoon) that comprises commuters who live in the Antelope Valley and work in the Greater Los Angeles area. The route is a convenient alternative to the Antelope Valley Freeway (State Route 14) and the Golden State Freeway (Interstate 5), both located to the west, to reach the Foothill Freeway (Interstate 210). Because the road is a two-lane highway, its vehicle capacity is significantly lower than either of the two freeways.

In contrast, the remainder of the Angeles Crest Highway is lightly traveled. Typically, this traffic is composed of vacationers, sightseers, and locals. The three areas comprising Mountain High ski resort are just west of Wrightw

From Wikipedia
The route is best described as mountain-rural. Because the route passes through the protected San Gabriel Mountains National Monument and Angeles National Forest, development is very limited. There are not many buildings between La Cañada Flintridge and Wrightwood save for Newcomb's Ranch, and forest service campgrounds and visitor centers. Other points of interest along the route include the Mountain High and Mt. Waterman ski areas.
Mount Wilson and its Mount Wilson Observatory and various radio/television transmitters are about 4.5 miles from the junction of Mount Wilson Road and Angeles Crest Highway. Depending on visibility conditions, impressive views of the Los Angeles Basin are possible from the vicinity of Mount Wilson. The most frequent hindrances of what can be seen are the smog and/or a marine layer covering the basin below.

Amazing view of Los Angeles from the hills of Glendale
This evening at about 5:30pm, the sky to the east was filled with rain clouds, the sky to the west was crystal clear, and the weather just to the north dropped into the 30's. It all combined to make a golden sky with a fantastic rainbow. Sorry, I know the camerawork is pretty jittery, but I didn't have a tripod.

In this video I took a good friend of mine out on a demo ride on the HaiBikes. We decided to hit a trail we both never been to before. We picked a trail with a long steep rocky climb with a nice single track down Sister Elsies Trail. We then climbed up and then made our way down the path to Gabrielino with a few crashes and falls and a few run in's with trees and bushes we had a ton of fun and a great adventure.

Calif. Snow Levels Fall Short In Early Measure
(4 Jan 2018) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus090026
The grassy brown Sierra meadow where California's water managers gave the results of the winter's first manual snowpack measurements Wednesday told the story - the drought-prone state is off to another unusually dry start in its vital winter rain and snow season.
Frank Gehrke, head of the state's snow survey team, stuck a metal pole into one of the few patches of snow at this site, measuring just over an inch (2.5 centimeters), or 3 percent of normal.
We're obviously hopeful that there will be more snow the next time we come out here, said Grant Davis, the head of California's Department of Water Resources, told news crews gathered in this mountain field, bare of all but a few crusty dots of old snow
Climate change increasingly is changing the mountain snowfall equation, but historically up to 60 percent of Californians' water supply each year starts out as snowfall in the Sierras. That makes the state's manual and electronic snowpack measurements in these mountains crucial gauges of how much water cities and farms will get in the year ahead.
This winter, one month into the state's peak storm season, snowpack across the Sierras stood Wednesday at 24 percent of normal.
The dry spell is even more acute in Southern California, including Los Angeles, which the National Weather Service said this week was marking its driest 10-month period on record. Residents there last saw significant rainfall in February.
The dry start to the rain and snow season is raising worries the state could be plunging right back into drought. The scene Wednesday was remiscent of 2015, when Gov. Jerry Brown stood in a brown, dry Sierra meadow equally bare of snow to declare a drought emergency, including mandatory water cutbacks by cities and towns.
Near-record rainfall last winter snapped the historic drought, filling reservoirs and sending many rivers over their banks. Reservoirs remain at 110 percent of normal storage thanks to the last wet winter, water officials said.
This winter, in contrast to the previous rain-sodden one, meteorologists point to a strengthening La Nina weather pattern in the Pacific, which typically brings drier weather.
A stubborn ridge of high pressure in the Pacific - the same bad guy during the state's drought - has been blocking storms from reaching Southern California in particular.
Even as the water officials spoke Wednesday, a welcome new storm carried some of the first rain in weeks into Northern California, which also had marked one of its driest Decembers on record.
Parts of Northern California will see rain - but not massive amounts of it - through the first half of January, with 1 or 2 inches (2.5 or 5 centimeters) of snow expected in the Sierras, the weather service said.

It was easily the craziest thing I've witnessed. I rushed home to upload this..comment below what you think or have heard it might be..skip to 1:19 to see to when the UFO releases a giant light.

SUMMARY
=======
The 1994 Northridge earthquake was a magnitude of 6.7 (Mw), blind thrust earthquake that occurred on January 17, 1994 at 4:30:55 a.m. PST in the San Fernando Valley region of the County of Los Angeles. Its epicenter was in Reseda, a neighborhood in the north-central Valley. The quake had a duration of approximately 10–20 seconds, and its peak ground acceleration of 1.8g (16.7 m/s2) was the highest ever instrumentally recorded in an urban area in North America. Strong ground motion was felt as far away as Las Vegas, Nevada, about 220 miles (360 km) from the epicenter. The peak ground velocity at the Rinaldi Receiving Station was 183 cm/s (4.09 mph or 6.59 km/h), the fastest ever recorded.
Two 6.0 Mw aftershocks followed, the first about one minute after the initial event and the second approximately 11 hours later, the strongest of several thousand aftershocks in all. The death toll was 57, with more than 8,700 injured. In addition, property damage was estimated to be $13–50 billion (equivalent to $22–85 billion today), making it one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.
