Life between the slides

“Highway 1 is the lifeline for our community and the road that services both tourists and residents alike. It is also the road that most residential enclaves count on for access to town. A slide on one end or the other makes access difficult; slides on both sides makes it impossible. And that’s the situation we are facing after the January storms.”

  • Kate, as always, your writing brings vivid experiences to all of us who care, the realities of living there between the slides. Incorporating the other women's stories and photos enriches understanding, empathy and admiration for the courage and persistence it takes to live where you all do. Thank you.
