MONTEREY / SAN LUIS OBISPOCOUNTIES – The north end of the Highway 1 closure has been moved north to Palo Colorado Rd. at Post Mile 61.5 at the request of CHP.
The Highway 1 closure now spans from Ragged Point in San Luis Obispo County to Palo Colorado Rd. in Monterey County.
The gates at Paul’s Slide (PM 22), are closed and will remain closed 24-hours a day.
Travelers from the south will encounter a closure on Highway 1 at the elephant seal viewing area, four miles north of San Simeon. A significant slide, one mile south of Ragged Point, extends over both lanes of travel. As a result, the highway is impassible at this location and is expected to restrict access to Ragged Point from the south for several weeks.

8:30 am Lots of wind and rain last night,. No power when I woke up, so I had to get the gennie going before I coudl check on conditions. The chp website reported 98 incidents for the Monterey area (which includes Santa Cruz, Hollister and Gilroy. Took a while to read all that small print. Today, I think I will just keep this one page open for reports as they come in, thorough out the day. Take a look at Mining Ridge (over 10”) and not an outlier this time as Three Peaks is almost 8” Stay safe and off the roads and watch out for each other. Anderson Canyon has reported over an 1” an hour and now up to 5” by the Knight household, even though Anderson Peak is missing data.
