Video and photo of Paul’s Slide (PM 21.6) , Big Creek (PM 28.09) , Limekiln Park (PM 21) and Rain Rocks (PM 21.3) from yesterday

The slides continue from Deetjen’s (PM 43.17) to Mud Creek (PM 8.8), but the northern closure has now moved south to Fullers/Grimes Cyn (PM 42)…Paul’s Slide (PM 21.6) is by far one of the worst slides at this time, video included from yesterday.

The inclement weather continues to give us more slides at multiple locations, the largest challenges being at: Mud Creek (PM 8.8), Paul’s Slide (PM 21.6), Big Creek (PM 28.09), Cow Cliffs (PM 28.35) and Deetjen’s (PM 43.17), require closure to rbe at Fullers/Grimes Cyn (PM 42) until further notice.

***NEW INFORMATION ***

State Route 1 is now closed between Ragged Pt. (SLO 72.87) and Fuller’s/Grimes Cyn. (Mon 42). Another storm is expected this afternoon, Thursday, Feb. 9.
 Motorists may travel north on State Route 1 from Cambria to Ragged Point (SLO PM 72.87) or south from Carmel to Fuller’s/Grimes Cyn. (PM 42).

    • That's the first pass by the plow trucks, second or third pass they all get pushed to the side.

  • Thanks. That's what I first thought but the "cleanliness" left and right threw me. Takes some real skill to get that blade that close, but then, they've had lots of practice lately, with even more opportunities to perfect their techniques ahead.
    Stay safe.
