Road is now open and residents are driving it. Thanks to Blaze, Cal-Trans, Partington Road Association, and all those behind the scenes that made this happen! Congratulations, all! Good job!


It rained on and off all night out here in Paso Robles. How about where you are?

What a photo! What a challenge! What a mess! These are the same people who lost houses in the Basin Fire of 2008. They are a tough group. Thanks for sharing your world, Sula.
On another note, repairing this road will be an expensive and private affair. It has been suggested that the road association might want to set up a fund that people could donate to. Carmel Pine Cone indicates it will be 1/2 million dollars to fix. Ouch! I will keep you posted if I learn more.

Also used collage, both for iPad
