Storm & Road Conditions, 1/17/19

2 pm – about two hours ago, I asked Susana of Cal Trans for an idea about when we could expect an assessment of the road situation to be available. She informed me she hoped to hear in an hour. So far, no update.

REMINDER: As one motorist found out, tow trucks are not permitted within the closure area. This one was by Esalen.

1:50 PM 4 [8] NO TOW COMPANIES ABLE TO RESP, DUE TO ROAD CLOSURES ON SR1

  • There's already an incredible amount of water at the top of that slide. It's got a lot of Volcanic material around it. Used to ride my horse up there near the top as it was part of our horse lease. Mr. Jimmy used to say you have to start at the top!!

  • Stupidity as always is rampant and widespread. There will be more.idiots going around the barricades

    • For what purpose? They will end up trapped between the barricades and the locked gates, where there will be no help if they get stuck in the mud flow, or get a flat due to the rocks, as tow trucks are not allowed on the closed area, and it is closed from Deetjen’s to Ragged Point. Even though the rains have stopped, for the most part, the slides and rock falls have not.
