Hiked up to Mt. Lowe today. Started at Eaton Saddle went through Mueller Tunnel and on up to the peak. Tunnel is open (all the warning and closure signs are gone), road is in great shape and so are the trails. No poodle dog.
At Markham Saddle (west of the tunnel) it looks like someone found an old closure sign in the bushes somewhere and propped it up in the middle of the road (see pics). Universally ignored.
Lots of mountain bikers heading downhill from Eaton Saddle.
Pics.
Mt. Lowe...
