You have read our previous post about some of our Sunday drives. The Southern California Automotive Community has lost an icon to the raging wildfires burning in the Angeles National Forest. The Hidden Springs Cafe has long been the only stop on the Angeles Crest Highway, a popular road for bikers, car guys, and commuters alike. We hope that they will rebuild.

We will follow up and update you if the cafe is rebuilt.
For More Information and some great photos of the cars and bikes that were often parked in front of the Hidden Springs Cafe.
