Another update from Kate (her internet is down again):
Willow Creek:
New slide of rock across the road at the big dirt turn out of Willow Creek towards the middle to north end. Since the big turn out is there you can drive into the turnout to avoid all the rock across the road.
Palo Colorado Canyon:
3 pm – I am getting reports of some nasty problems up Palo Colorado Canyon at 3 miles and at the Hoist. My internet is again extremely intermittent, so having difficulty following up on this and getting further information. As soon as I get something definitive, I will email it to Luke so he can post for me.
Esalen: there is a slide near Esalen, but locals can get past it on the shoulder, I understand.
