Subject: Re: URGENT RELEASE 4
The County of Monterey is asking for the cooperation of visitors and residents to avoid the Big Sur Area entirely. State Hwy 1 is CLOSED at Palo Colorado. Only residents with proof of residency will be allowed in with CHP/Caltrans Escorts. The road conditions are not safe and we need to keep traffic to a minimum for our first responders and emergency personnel.

Thank you for keeping everyone informed, Kate. We sure hope everybody is safe! With love and Happy Easter... x
Thank you for this information. Praying everyone stays safe...the resiliency of the residents continues to amaze me.
Certainly CALTRANS knows best; they are there. Nonetheless, I hope they have verified that the NB lane is on solid stuff that wasn't dependent upon any buttressing effect of the "slip."
