Mud Slide South of Lucia and North of Nasty, 3/2/18

This is per the CHP:

6 Type: Mud/Dirt/Rock Location: 62400 Sr1 Loc Desc: SB JSO LUCIA LODGE Lat/Lon: 36.021125 -121.552665
Detail Information
7:16 PM 4 [8] 1039 CTRANS ADVZD WILL SEND CREW TO EITHER CLOSE THE HWY OR PLACE SIGNS AFTER CHP HAS VERIFEID WHAT NEEDS TO OCCUR / S8 CPS
6:56 PM 3 [3] JSO LUCIA JNO NAC FERG // RDWY NOT PASSSABLE
6:55 PM 2 [2] UNK AMOUNT OF DEBRIS
6:55 PM 1 [1] RDWY IS BLOCKED BY A SLIDE

Based on JSO (Just south of) Lucia, this would be Paul’s Slide. However, JNO Nac Ferguson would be The Chimney Slide. Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe we will find out in the am.
