Alder Creek, 5/28/11 – Almost There

They are now down to about 60 feet above the highway, and it is looking good! The dirt on the south side is being hauled off for a realignment project on Highway One near Arroyo de la Cruz, I think it is. Here are a few photos from yesterday:

The last update put up by Cal-Trans on Thursday gave a projected opening of mid-June. Based on these photos, that looks very likely – if not before, and if no unforeseen challenges.

Memorial Day Weekend doings in Big Sur

So much going on, it is hard to know where to begin. I try to stay only with non-profits, but HML does such a great job of getting their info out, I usually don’t add to their outreach. Check their site, as they have LOTS going on this weekend! However, send me an email if you know of a non-commercial enterprise you want to promote this week-end.

Our Big Sur Library is having a fund-raiser: May 28, 29 & 30 – Annual “Friends of the Big Sur Library” Book and Bake Sale, Saturday, Sunday, & Monday, May 28, 29 & 30, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Peruse a huge selection of donated/used books (from all genres) and sample delicious homemade baked goods (for purchase) fresh from the ovens of Big Sur pastry maestros. All proceeds go to supporting the operation of Monterey County’s only free public library in Big Sur. This is a free event. The Big Sur Library is located on Highway 1 at the Ripplewood Resort in Big Sur. (831) 667-2537.
