If you live in the Los Angeles area and you like biking and hiking in the San Gabriel Mountains, you may have heard of this place. It's actual name is Shoemaker Canyon Rd. and it was a failed attempt to reconstruct the shortcut to Wrightwood (See: The Bridge to Nowhere), instead of taking the Angeles Crest Highway in the 1960s. It was killed off as a result of budget cuts, and enviromentalists. As an interesting note, this road was primarily built by convicts.
