I take the 39 up and turn right on east fork rd all the way to the ranger station, but google maps indicates that taking glendora ridge/mountain road is faster. is that really true? (not driving like Taco)

Google maps has an "Anal - Cranial obstruction"

Not fast. Way windy.

If you are going to the Sheep Wilderness area, it is faster to take East fork.

I read a lot of comments on the Bboard about Taco's driving...Maybe he was a kamikaze in a previous incarnation??

If you're moving fast in a decent stock/street car on a day with normal traffic, single-laning like a good boy, you can finish south stage of GMR in 12-14 minutes, and north side in 6 and change. I've not timed R39-EFRD but it's probably only a little slower, since it's a faster/straighter road.

R39-EFRD is a better way to go for you to get to Heaton.

quite likely. i could imagine Taco trying to blow up a US naval ship

No way, son. I'm an American. I have worn a Japanese headband while driving before, though.

Oh, I get it!! Some comments I read about your driving make a lot more sense now.

Finally. the real reason they used to test torpedoes in San Gabriel Canyon!

Wonder if there's any UXO down there...

If I wasn't poor, I'd set up a trailhead taxi service for a low fee ($5 & no complaints ).
