Sad to say, the Summit Inn is gone.

Anyone who has traveled Route-66 through the Cajon Pass from Las Vegas to So Cal should know where this is.
Everything is lost to a massive wildfire.

That is a drag. I remember that place on our trips to Mammoth and Tahoe when I was a kid.

When I was in the 5th and 6th grade, our street dead ended into a hill that was nothing but Fox Tails (which will spontaneously combust if conditions are just right) in the Palos Verdes hills (California, LA basin). Fires would sweep up those hills pushed by 40mph winds. Our neighborhood held a meeting and laid down plans on how to at least slow the fire down. If a fire was coming, everyone from our house (at the corner) down to the dead end would grab all their hoses and run for the end of the block, hook up to the last four houses and carry out as far as they could go and start soaking the Fox Tails. Next two blocks did the same thing. It got real dicey several times with only one house having any damage while we were there.

Those things are awful, used to have to pick them out of my socks when I was a kid. You'd have to decide if a shortcut was worth the time saved vs stopping to pick out your socks!!

How far were you from the old Marineland Of The Pacific?

My Siberian Husky used to get them up her nose when she would sniff out things in our yard, she cost me a lot of money to have them removed.

Our gardener brought them to our yard with his mower.
