Highway One blocked?
UPDATE – I drove through sometime between 6:15-6:30 and one lane was open with traffic control. It was actually just across from the Hawthorne Gallery. I tried to get a photograph, but they signaled me through before I could get my camera out. Amazing to see a 37′ fifth wheel laid out on its side like that. Kudos to our BSVFB and LPF who were the ones handling this mess. It had been almost three hours by the time I went through. We are lucky to have such an incredible local response, as I did not see any MCSO or CHP.
AS OF 8:30 pm, both lanes were open, with a mess left for Cal Trans in the morning.
There was another one just north of Lucia, but it did not block the road. What a drive home!
Local word has it, although it is not showing up on CHP, yet, that the road is blocked at HML due to an overturned RV. I AM HEADED TO RI to wait it out.

Yet ANOTHER Bike Event on Highway One thru Big Sur
Another bicycle group on the highway. As the stress in the urban areas increases from population increases, we can expect a reciprocal stress on our lovely strip of coast between TWO large urban areas!
Ride 2 Recovery (R2R) is a non-profit organization that helps improve the health and wellness of injured veterans by providing rehabilitation through cycling. We organize out-door non-competitive cycling events to enable injured veterans the ability to rehabilitate, both physically and mentally, from the agonies of war. Some of our combat wounded veterans have specialized bikes made for them to deal with their particular injury (many are amputees). The continued support from the schools not only keep our riders motivated on the challenge, it is also a great boost of morale to have the support of the students cheering them on as they make their journey to recovering.
We are currently planning and wrapping up this year’s California Challenge for 180 active and inactive military personnel October 5 – 11, 2014.
CALIFORNIA CHALLENGE
OCT. 5TH PALO ALTO TO GILROY
OCT. 6TH GILROY TO CARMEL
OCT. 7TH CARMEL TO SAN SIMEON
OCT. 8TH SAN SIMEON TO PISMO BEACH
OCT. 9TH PISMO BEACH TO SOLVANG
OCT. 10TH SOLVANG TO VENTURA
OCT. 11TH VENTURA TO SANTA MONICA
We want to notify you of our presence and see if you and the students of PACIFIC VALLEY SCHOOL would be interested in supporting our troops as they ride by on
Tuesday, October 07 at approximately 12:22pm. Other schools along the route in the past usually have the students make signs, wear red white and blue, and hold American Flags to show their support as the riders pass by the school.
We have 5 challenges a year throughout the US. Let’s put California on the map as the state with the most school support.
The veterans are looking forward to seeing the students out cheering them on.
