The road is open, and the construction is done.  It has actually been done 
for some time.  The backside of the mountain is still closed after last 
years fires, and while that shouldn't impact your car club trip, it will 
cut down on the number of caches you can reach from the top, you have to 
travel all the way around to Oracle to get those caches.  There are still a 
number of great caches that you can get from the highway.

One thing to remember, you have to pay a toll now, it is something like $5 
a car, or $20 a year per car.
