[UPDATE: Open!] 101 Blocked by Downed Tree on Fire
According to Caltrans,
U.S. Highway 101 is closed approximately 10 miles north of the Del Norte County line (near Trees of Mystery) due to a downed tree that has fallen into power lines. Caltrans and fire personnel are on scene, and PG&E is en route. No ETO at this time.
The California Highway Patrol Incident page indicates that traffic may be backing up.
UPDATE 4:44 p.m.: Caltrans posted, “Normal two-way traffic has been restored!”

Its why I love CA and Humboldt. Only here, a tree down in the road AND on fire. In the rain.

That was in Del Norte County
Again?!! Don’t think I have ever heard 101 closed so many times by this time of year. Seems like a lot, right???
