The SLO Tribune has a good article AND video of a drive on Mud Creek taken in January. You can read it and view the video below. Remember, this was January, and this first 1/2 of March is predicted to be pretty wet.

Mud Creek, Jan 2018

In getting ready for the eventual opening of the highway, remember another time – this one?

You can read Kathe’s recollection of the opening “party of the year” here:

1984 highway opening

Memorabilia of the opening sent in by Aaron Appel:
