I for one am starting to get tired of the rain. It’s been a wonderful winter… I love the rain and all that, but I’m ready for some sun 🙏

Read the article! It clearly states between Willow Creek and Berry Summit at mile 34.

That should require an attention span of less than 15 seconds.

Hope you feel better, rest yourself and then…. Get Back To work! I need to know what’s happening in our neck of the woods on an hourly basis. I’m an RHB addict.

It was the Democrats’ fault. Or the Freedom Caucus, maybe. Not yours, Kym.

That hill is called rattle snake summit. It’s claimed lots of cars! Be careful!

Brutal winter for our already damaged roads. I’m hoping everyone who has to travel arrives safe and sound!! At least during the day you can see the ruts and rocks. Stay safe all

I checked DOT road conditions, but can anybody give me a first hand 299 report. I have to cross over to Redding leaving at 4am (tomorrow) Wednesday. I would hate to get sent back. Is the big slide open permanently or with delays?
