Is there ANY way to get down to La Crescenta from Valencia.. i have a party i need to go to and im stuck in valencia

[chris deme]

the only way is to go too the 14 north and exit to angeles crest highway and go throught the angeles crest forest it will take you one hour. it is a mountain road so drive safely. It will end at la canada flintridge area.

how do I get from valencia to van nuys

[Obomination]

Maybe trying to save peoples lives and property is more important than your going to a party. Stay home.

[David]

I think your safety Nikki is more important than a party. Think about it!!!

[Holly]

I need to get to my son who is in Palmdale with realitives, And I would rather be with my son then stuck in all this smoke, How do I get there from Sylmar.

Nikk, I wouldn't go anywhere - if the fire burns to Valencia you'll need to get out fast. You might come home to see everything destroyed. And you can take the long way: Take the 14 to Angeles National Forest, and take that south to La Crescenta.

will the freeways still be closed tonight by 8pm coming out of santa clarita to the valley???

[amadeus]

You could try this route if your REALLY must go, but is it worth it? its looks about 4x longer than normal. Try dragging the route to find other alternatives.

Do you know whether Hwy 5 at Newhall pass is still closed to the traffic? If so, how do you now get from LAX to Valencia? We've just landed at LAX. I am fairly new to this area, and the only way to Valencia I know and took in the past was via highway 5 and Newhall Pass. Thank you for your help!

[Lauri]

What is the fastest way to go from Moorpark to Valencia?

[Liz]

do u know if six flags will be open tonight?

[aloha]

I tried to get out of santa clarita and was not able to get out. They closed the 5S, 14S, and any side roads, i.e. old road, san fernando. My husband needs to get to La Crescenta so he's trying the angeles forest highway. Hopefully it works!

Any news on the Northcutt Car museum in Sylmar? Is it in the path of the fires or has it already suffered damage?

[abe]

There are a lot of dumb questions being asked by people using the web, come on, use commeon sense do not travel through fire areas!

[Sharon]

Is E. Nohl Ranch Road still open at Imperial Highway? This is near the Anaheim Hills Golf Course.

[timmy]

Are their any fires near moorpark?

[Julia]

Is there a route open to get from Riverside County to Tustin?

[Gabby]

hey is all of the freeways open already from the valley to santa clarita? and if they arent, are they gonna be open by tomorrow?

[leery traveler]

I'm supposed to travel to Long Beach later this week, flying into LAX. I'm not very familiar with the area and it looks like Long Beach is close to the fire area, but maybe not in danger because it's on the water. Maybe it's farther away than it looks on the map. Could anyone near there let me know if you'd cancel if you were me? Frankly, it looks like Southern California has enough to deal with without a bunch of business folks wandering into possible fire areas.

Thank you.
