Just got home from my first weekend in Bridgeport (warming up the roads for y'all) and it was absolutely stellar... weather was perfect, roads were empty, and scenery was stunning... looks like this coming weekend will be the same! Just a few updates...
Sat/Sun breakfasts will be chosen from a select downsized menu. If you've paid me for brekkie, you'll get a ticket to give the server. If you haven't paid me for brekkie, you will need to pay for your meal at that time. They have a small kitchen so if folks can show up in shifts and not all at once, that will be good for everyone involved.The Saturday night dinner will be just our group outside at picnic tables. Just a note: the owners are friends of mine and they do their very best to take care of everyone who stays with them. If there's a bit of a wait for meals, just chill and enjoy the company while you're there.
All of the passes are open. Ebbetts/4 was clear and in very good condition although keep an eye out for the errant rock in the road. Monitor/89 was also in great condition. Sonora/108 has had some road work going on but there was only one place that had controlled traffic and that should be gone before this weekend. The road was in very good condition. As with all mountain passes, be alert for dirt/sand in the corners.
395 has some road work going on and a couple of one-lane controlled traffic sections south of the 108 turnoff. We went through there this morning and it wasn't a long wait at all. Keep an eye out for deer... guess it's migration time in the area.
Y'all are gonna have a great time!!
