  • Noticed this morning the lack of traffic from Hwy 41 into Morro Bay.
    The 3 mile section from Cerro Alto Campground to where the road debouches from the hills towards Morro Bay is particularly susceptible to slides.

    • And in the daylight photo, one can see the chain netting holding back the part of the hill south of the slide. It will be a while until it opens.
