Wildflower Avalanche – First Prize in Flowers
How fun ! After spending a couple of years away; exploring British Columbia and Europe, I settled down long enough to enter a lovely local Garden Club Photo contest up in Carmel Valley.
(What a nice set of people helped me enter the contest.)

Yosemite IconUpdate: June 18 Yosemite and Big Sur roads are all open.
Yosemite’s Tioga Pass opened June 18.
Big Sur’s Alder Creek opened June 9.
Big Sur is open to the North at Rocky Creek (one lane at a time). The South Coast is closed at Alder Creek for another month, but Nacimiento-Ferguson Rd is open.
Yosemite is open to the West on all roads (41, 120 & 140), but Tioga Pass is closed.

While the vehicle closure of our Big Sur road at Rocky Creek / Bixby Creek may be lifted this weekend, here’s a couple of related things you might appreciate.
Coyote Curious
1. The slide at Rocky Creek occurred because the road at the specific location was built on dirt – not rock. There is bedrock on both sides of the slide, but not surprisingly the slide occurred on the dirt section.
2. One Fully loaded truck trip can do as much damage to Highway One as almost 10,000 cars trips.

Cloud over Rocky Creek 
- Update June 9, 2011: Highway 1 through Big Sur is open all the way from Carmel to San Luis Obisbo. Alder creek slide is cleared.
Update April 15: Cal-Trans said at least one lane at Rocky Cr. / Bixby Cr. could be open by April 25th. Unfortunately, Alder Creek (South Coast) slid again and is closed, but N-F is open. Walking across at Rocky Creek, they are not too strict about time. You have a few minutes leeway if you are late. (But if you are on time its really fun to see so many more friends :-)
