The 5 is open, however, it is a mess. The traffic south bound is worse than North due to all the lookie loos. Trust me on this, I just went both ways not 1 hour ago.  Whatever you see on the news or read on the net is crap.

So how bad is it going north bound?  

South on sunday should be ok, without work traffic.

Why should I trust this site then?

I expect that traffic will be slow for a while even if there's nothing to see.  Especially if the news vans are still lined up.  I'm going up tomorrow to check out the tunnel.

It's not as bad as South, but, Sunday may not be as easy as you think. Everybody travelling through that area will want to try and see the tunnel. All you can see is the entrance that is all blackend from the fire.

Craft time is between 2:00 and 3:00 pm. Brad and Mary are the crafters this year! We will be set up on the common area of Alder for crafts.

:-() ITS CRAFT TIME :-()

Well almost    Sean and I have been saving this craft for a big rally with a lot of kids. We will be having all the kids making marshmallow shooters (or marshmallow gun). We have enough pre-cut pieces to make 34 shooters. I am asking any and all of you that have any spray paint cans that are not the color white, to bring to the craft table, so the kids can decorate there shooters.
Also if you have any stickers that would be great too   :yikes:
My plan is to have the kids assemble there shooters and then let all of them play with them for a little while. After they get it out of there system (or out of breath) I am going to have them come back to the craft table to paint and/or decorate there own shooters.

ALL KIDS THAT WANT TO SPRAY PAINT THEIR SHOOTERS
Must have one of there parents there to help. I will not let a kid handle the spray cans by themselves.

PS......... I know that in these political times some of you might not like the idea of there child having a gun. That is why I am referring to them as shooters and not guns, so I hope I don't offend anyone. Remember this is just a TOY

PSS ......... I would like this to be a surprise for all the kids, So if you could not tell your little ones about the craft that would be great.

Just a reminder to bring any paint spray cans, so the kids can decorate their shooters.

Just another note:

  If you plan on using the showers during your stay, they take quarters so load up on change in quarters.

 Kids are not to chase the peacocks!

 The animals on the property are not to be fed cupcakes or milky way bars!

  The sun has been setting around 6:20 pm so it should be still, at least twilight when we eat on Saturday nite.

  We are going to come collecting for the pancake breakfast as you get here. It will speed things up and free up our waiters and waitress.

 Finally, do you know how to get to the campground?
 Bring warm clothing and lots of firewood!

In Ref to the I-5 going south. I can recommend a detour if the traffic seems to backed up.
Take the I-5 south to Lyons Ave (about 4 miles from the 126) exit and make a left over the freeway. take it to the end. It will end on San Fernando Rd.
turn right and take this all the way down until you hit the 14.
make a right onto the 14 heading to LA. and then back onto the 5 going south. this will get you around the tunnel area that burned up and all the lookie loos
look up Valencia, Ca on any map system and you will be able to see the roads mentioned above.
Brain if you know a better work around please chime in.

I'm clear on getting to hwy 150 from hwy 126.  However, the resort's website says to turn right on the 2nd entrance, Mupu rd and a right on Pine Grove.
 
 when I look at yahoo maps, it looks like I should turn left on Pine Grove.
 
 can you please verify how to get to the cg from hwy 150, and is it clearly marked?
 thanks

We stayed at Far West on our 1st trip in our Niagara in Jan of 2005.  We stayed in the circle loop (forgot the name but I think the fish squad is staying there.)  Anyway, don't be surprised if the peacocks wake you up around 4:30-5 am making noise.  (ELP - ELP)  After they made there rounds we never saw them again.

I made 45 trick-or-treat goodie bags, I hope they're enough.  The kids are looking forward to the trip.

 I will try. Reread the map directions a few times.
 There are signs as you get closer to the park. Don't go to the first park that you come to on the right side of the road.

From Highway 126 take the 10th Street/Highway 150 exit into Santa Paula. Continue through the city of Santa Paula, approximately 7 miles north towards Ojai. Stay on the right hand lane as the 10th Street/Highway 150 splits. At the second Steckel County Park entrance, make a right on Mupu Road, and a right on Pine Grove Road. Proceed to the Far West Resorts entrance.

thx, Bob, I have realized that the pin tack on yahoo maps is in the wrong place, which is why I was confused.  Thanks for clarifiying the directions for me!

If kids are not allowed to chase Peacocks, can the adults?  Also, is it against the rules to chase the peacocks if I use the golf cart?
