This morning, this caravan showed up at the south end of the Bridge undoubtedly to cheers from all who saw. Sander Koning took this photo.
You are welcome, North Island, from the South Island.
Getting through our slides:
We are now the North Island and the South Island. North is between Paul’s Slide and the bridge. South is between Paul’s Slide and Mud Creek. Just like New Zealand, two distinct islands – also both home to some remarkable Jade.
Town run accomplished. Weed Eater purchased. 250 miles round trip to SLO and 11 1/2 total hours. I am exhausted.
Birthday this month, and happens to be on a Friday. If I can get through at the noon hour, and Paul’s Slide doesn’t get temperamental, I can return during the evening window. Watch out, Nepenthe, I’m coming to celebrate! I really, really need an ambrosia burger, and a drink or two.
There are several places where one can barely drive through. (See collage of photos below.)…

Yes you deserve a drink or 3! Happy Happy to you.
Hang in there. We in Carmel Valley and the Monterey Peninsula think of you often and are so concerned for how all of you are holding up. Much love to all.
I only wish I could come and celebrate your birthday with you at Nepenthe!
Thanks, Lois. I would rather be a bit more "under the radar" which is why I am not giving out the date.

Oh, what a Happy Birthday celebration you will have, Kate! ✨🎉🎈🥂🍔🎶❤️
I'm SOOOO craving an Ambi!!!! 😂😘
I am also a May birthday!
Happy May birthday to you too from North Island, Big Sur. :-)
Enjoy your special day.
I recently enjoyed the Nepenthe 68 year celebration. Good times. Enjoy your birthday visit there. Alicia took good care of us.
Gate/road closures:
On Thursday morning we all got stopped at the Mud creek gate closure which never did open. New slide again. Drove back to Nacimiento to go South down 101 to SLO.
Today, on Friday, the Paul's slide gate opened on time at 6 pm. 101 to Naci to 1 to Paul's gate closure. No Mud Creek today.
The smallest errand in town turns into an all day event now. :-(
Your website continues to be my trusted daily info source.
Have a wonderful birthday.
Take care. :-)
Kate,
Land lovers and bullish Taur babes good to know there are a few still around periscoping from the mountain tops.
Hope you have a great birthday . Wildflowers

I know what date your birthday is, but I will keep silent! :-)
FB will eventually announce it, I know.
