On a trip to Grapevine Canyon today, I saw quite a few poppies in bloom. Grapevine Canyon and the area around the California Poppy Reserve were quite spectacular, considering the dry winter. The recent rains, which have been well timed, seemed to have made the drought a little prettier to look at.
Is there a way to get to the concrete of Dead Man’s Curve?
There is no easy way to get to the paving on Dead Man’s Curve. It is entirely within the freeway right of way. I have access to the site through my Adopt-A-Highway permit for that section of freeway.
Do you still have access to the site? It is on my bucket list.
Yes, I do still have indirect access via my Adopt-A-Highway permit. In order to go to that roadway, you may have to join when I do another cleanup later this year. Volunteers are always welcome.
How do you get to that view of deadman’s curve? that’s an awesome view!
I took those photos from Digier Road, which takes off of Lebec Road at Ft Tejon.
