• So, Old Coast Road is now Old Coast River? What creek/river was it originally called?

  • Suzi, no, that's a joke. The road has turned into a river. I believe it is the river that runs out Bixby ...

• Yes, Kate I got the joke, however I'm sure the residents there aren't laughing. Looks like a detour situation.... Does Bixby Bridge cross Bixby Creek and is that Bixby Creek on OCR, whatever the R in OCR now stands for...?

  • They are the ones who "renamed" it, actually. Sometimes you have to joke about things to keep sane. You know, Suzi, I think it is Bixby, but I can't look it up to be sure, as my Internet is very slow and "iffy" now that I've lost my satellite.

• Yes it's Bixby Creek, unless it lies beyond the point where Bixby departs the road, in which case it would be Sierra Creek.

• 1.5 mi upstream places this along SIerra. The old closure was at MP 2.0, and likely represents the same reach along the Sierra tributary.
  I updated my map with these latest closures. http://u.osmfr.org/m/122609/

  • Thanks, John. You did note that as of this am, Palo Colorado Canyon is closed at the highway.

• Jon, that map is so helpful. Really nice job. Thanks for doing that.

• Kate, how can we get some staples down to you guys...food, wood, propane and most importantly love?
