Power out and lines over both lanes at Big Sur River Bridge.

UPDATE: BOTH LANES OPEN AS OF 2:15

Last time that happened, Ralph and I were stuck for a couple hours and starving. Ended up at Nepenthe with their generator. It was his 82 birthday. Had a great time and a great meal, as always. Wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t the same pole!

I looked like a giant sycamore to me. The termites love the heat and hollow them out.
On east side of hwy. Across the road from buzzards roost trailhead.
