For anyone who cares, a quick update on what I know about local canyon roads. Pics are from VC star web site and may change - beyond my control.
Highway 33 N from Ojai to Lockwood is scheduled to open this weekend, mudslides on the road only, cleared.
Highway 33 S Ojai to Ventura (freeway strech) is open and congested.
Highway 150 N from Ojai to Santa Barbara is looking like 2 weeks off, some larger slides about a mile past the Casitas summit will take longer to clear.
Highway 150 S from Ojai to Santa Paula was looking like April - sink hole somewhere by Thomas Aquinas college (sulphur scented corner) - downgraded this morning to September....maybe. This is a fun stretch of twisty road and the only non-freeway route into Ojai from the south. Losing this one for the summer hurts, a lot! All pics are of this area.
South Mountain and Grimes (SR 23) are already open as is Balcom Cyn.
