[UPDATE 3:52 p.m.] 101 Closed between Hwy 1 and Peg House in Northern Mendocino
CHP dispatch says only northbound is closed by a reader is telling us that traffic is stopped in both directions.
UPDATE 2:30 p.m.: According to Alysha Valier, southbound traffic began moving a few minutes ago. She said, “Looks like they let about 15 cars go north in the beginning then stopped both ways for a bit,” Then she said that southbound traffic began going. This sounds like the pattern for one-way controlled traffic but we caution that this has not yet been confirmed.
UPDATE 2:47 p.m.: An occupant of the Jeep was taken to Jerold Phelps Hospital.
UPDATE 2:57 p.m.: According to the California Highway Patrol Incident page, The northbound lanes are open. One of the southbound lanes is open.
UPDATE 3:17 p.m.: Power has been restored to all but 16 customers, according to PG&E.
UPDATE 3:52 p.m.: Traffic is moving fairly smoothly through the site. Here’s a photo by Alysha Valier of the downed pole and traffic puttering past it.

what or where is the peg house ????????
i have been driving on 101 and living in the area for over 60 years and never heard of it .
is it someones house , a never mentioned landmark not worth mentioning , what the heck is it and where ???????
you always say peg house when problem in that area , WHERE IS IT EXACTLY
It’s across from Standish hickey state park. There is a big monster truck school bus and there use to be an old police car parked there too.
From what I read above, it would be very near mile marker 93.9.
What! You never don’t stop at the Peg House? http://thepeghouse.com/

Ahhh you beat me to it Kym! Happy New Year my friend!
Happy New Year’s to you, too.
It is an amazing General Store/Cafe/Music Venue/Interpretive Book Store and more. But the big question is why does Caltrans sign it as “Standish Hickey State Park” but the entrance signs to the park say “Standish Hickey State Recreation Area”? Which is it and what is the difference?
My understanding is it is a recreation area within a state park. Parks are for mostly for preservation. Recreation areas encourage more activities than just walking through without disturbing. For instance, Standish Hickey offers camping. That said, I couldn’t find anything to prove that with a quick search on Google.
Thanks. Not sure how Standish Hickey differs from Richardson Grove or Humboldt Redwoods State Parks. Guess I will contact Park Headquarters in Eureka for their explanation.
60 years and never heard of it? Dude….you can’t miss it. The restaurant has been there for many years. It’s just past Legget when heading north on 101

The Peg House
69501 US – 101
Leggett, CA 94107
P: (707 925 6444)
Visual clue: it’s not even 100′ off 101 in a cleared area. Note the “South Park” monster-truck style school bus parked in front of it. Stop by on your next drive.
The Peg House was built decades ago. It is the small deli the truck drivers would stop at. It is called the Peg House because it was built without nails. It is pegged together.
The four men standing around the downed pole would look a lot more useful if one of them were holding even the smallest of chainsaws.
Funny. Live power lines
ok
THANKS
now i know what the peg house is
never knew the name or looked but i have stopped many times
love the old CHP sorta looking car slowing traffic down and the south park monster bus with no motor
thanks again , i dont know names but i do know places
Maybe the O’Brien Store on US199 can loan them their old police car.
any updates on the skeletal remains found at Standish Hickey?
When we were kids we called it the Pig House and thought that was just hysterical!! Will always be the Pig house to me!!! Love Love that place!!!
Peg House has the best brownies in the universe.
Bicyclist be warned! LOL
Great burgers too!
My love makes those brownies he’s also working on restoring that police car to bring it back
Where else can you get the news and a history lessen at the same place? My daughter always stops there when she comes home for a visit. Next time I’m going to make sure she brings me some brownies!
