3:00 pm – just got a report from a local who went through the slide. It is, as I suspected, at Mud Creek. It is active, Cal-Trans is working it, and they do have one lane open at this time.

This is what is posted on the CHP website. Gorda says not there, so I suspect it is the infamous Mud Creek a mile or so south. That is the area I posted the photos of from last night, and the area I have been covering for the entire winter – actually, back to last year some time.

2:04PM 1039 TEMPLETON CHP OFFICE
2:04PM 1039 CALTRANS DIST 5
2:02PM 1039 SAN LUIS
2:00PM LINE 1 WAS GIVEN TO MTY COM FROM MIDCOAST FIRE BRIGADE
2:00PM SLIDE 1125 SB LANE

  • This morning news on KSBW news reports the slide just south of Linekilm has both lanes closed and crew on site. They reported this morning that they should have this clear by 1 today. Can anyone confirm?

  • So all the signs here in cambria still say highway closed, but I also heard that they are letting people thru at the gorda slide?
