Essential Services To and From Big Sur
Monterey, CA – Essential services will be allowed to access Big Sur between 12:00pm and
5:00pm Tuesday, January 25, 2022.
Law enforcement escorts will begin at the Traffic Control Points (TCP’s) at the north and south end of the closures on Highway 1.
Essential services including propane, fuel, water, sewer/septic, mail, waste/recycling and Big Sur Health Center staff with valid credentials.
Do essential services include evacuees returning to their homes tomorrow between and 5 p.m.?
Ok, the official cal fire statement says no in and out access for residents. I don’t need essential services if I can’t even get home. I’ve been sleeping on a sofa in my dirty clothes for 3 days. Am I the only one who got stuck outside?
Solution.. Hostage exchange. Tevye says he will trade us for some stuck tourists.
LOL, Pearl. Will see what can be arranged.
