I think that location has dropped before in previous years, and has a patchwork of repaving. Am I thinking of the right area? North of Lucia? Isn't there a view point near there?

The Willow drop is a constant, accelerated by the rain. Since, literally, tons of material gets brought to the huge turnout it just drops uinder the weight of it.

The Lucia spot became a roller coaster area years ago and it was unrecongizable! It went from the motel units to past Morning Glory on the north.
