Crews at Regent’s Slide continue steady progress toward the key rock outcropping, an important milestone in stabilizing the slope and restoring Highway 1 access.

Work is currently underway to set anchor points for a new drapery system, which will secure and guide loose rocks safely down the slope. The drapery netting has been acquired and is being staged for future installation as the project progresses.

These two were found on Highway One near the Big Sur Station. Hillary Thurkow Evan took them up to their place on Pfeiffer Ridge. Contact me at kwnovoa@mac.com for Hillary’s phone number.

“Between Monday and Wednesday, this system is forecast to bring widespread rainfall totals of one inch with locally higher totals of two to three inches in the higher terrain. As this low is forecast to be off the San Francisco Peninsula Coast, cyclonic rotation will result in southwesterly flow into the Central Coast. As a result, the Santa Cruz Mountains and
Big Sur Coast are forecast to receive the most rainfall.” (Per NOAA on 10/11/2025) There is also the possibility of instability leading to lightning.

First big storm of the season — should be interesting for Regent’s Slide.
