2023 Diablo Day 01 - Redeemed

 Hard to believe here on the 18th of January and today was my first Junction. These storms have been something else. Most of the photos in this blog entry are of the damage and mess.

There were a lot of small mudslides where most of the muck stayed in the ditches.

There was lots and lots of running water in the creeks and culverts.

There were a lot of medium sized mudslides that had been scraped off the road and piled up on the side. 

And there were a few places with real damage to the foundation... this is gonna take some engineering and financing.

 

This pile of muck had been dredged out of the creek
behind and piled up here for photos.

OK - the serious stuff - this is just above the old single-lane washout,
below Diablo Ranch.

I was surprised to see this rider come up from the South because I'd heard it was closed, and she said she came up North and you could only go down South a little ways before they made her turn back up.

Of course this place is even worse now.
