Absolutly loook at the road. As CArl says it has been drivable since the rains stopped in may. Look at the pictures from 1983 and you will see what real devastation looks like. Somehow in 1983 the road was fixed in 80 some odd days and remained drivable until the 1995 slide. Remember we only need a TEMPORARY fix to the road not a permenant fix.

I agree with you Carl. This has been a 7.5 million dollar boondoggle for Caltrans and their contractors. Had the army corp of engineers been called in the road could have been opened in a matter of days not a half a year. The problem is that Caltrans knows how to play the beareaucratic game too well. Had they only been able to procure 1 million dollars from the state for repairs we would be driving up hwy 1 and businesses would be happy already.
