6:39 AM 1 [2] HWY 1 IS CLOSED F/MPM 42 (FULLERS) DOWN TO RAGGED PT (SLO COUNTY)
Let’s hope Nac-Ferg stays open!! It’s the only route out for the “in-betweeners”! Mo Co Roads is on it, tho, stopped by PV School on Friday after coming over and on their way to Willow Cr. Rd (Los Burros Rd) to check out the slip out below Spruce Creek. Our staff and parent that live south (Cambria & Gorda Mtn) were comforted to know that N-F was passable and these guys were coming behind them shortly to get back over.
Fingers crossed for Monday, after this big storm.
Not allowed to turn around? So locals will have to sit in the weather with their citation in hand? Or will be arrested?
