• Hardworking heroes all!

• OMG is all I could say when seeing the photos of the road! Huge oak now being cut into firewood. Amazing what resourceful and skilled people can do. Thanks for the photos.

• Great photos. I must say, the reflected sunlight on the wet road in the last shot is a sign of hope--better than a yellow brick road!

• amazing people--all working for the collective good. Thank You!

• WOW that is incredible. Way to go guys. You are very impressive.

• And we can't forget to mention Phil Taylor who is out there all year long with his backhoe (pictured) clearing the dead trees that drop at the hint of any wind.
  Thank you to all my neighbors who take care of all the obstacles so we can live in this challenging and beautiful place!

• the kind of affluence you can not buy. Great country neighbors. People who show up!

  • Beautifully put. Thank you!

• I love the view of Pacific Valley from Manchester. The Army found what was left of Willie Criuckshank when they cut the road for Operation surfboard from HLMR to san simeon in around 57.

• *correction to my previous post that the backhoe belonged to Phil Taylor. It was actually Ron Villa's, Phil has one and uses it on Los Burros throughout the year!

• Great job locals! It takes grit and flexibility to live out there. No need to wait around for big brother to fix it.
