  • What a relief that must be for the local residents within the closure boundaries. USFS and Cal Fire can't risk another fire in CA, never mind in Big Sur.

  • If I read this correctly, the road closure(s) appear to be specific to motorized vehicles. Does this suggest that foot or bicycle traffic may be permitted?

  • WIth the distance you'd have to travel from wherever you parked your vehicle it would be an unpleasant ride/walk with the 1st local car/truck driving by you and shrouding you in the 6" fine dust on the road! There's better places for sure & probably better for your respiratory health!
