[UPDATE 5:14 p.m. Bluffs Between Garberville Redway Open] Redwood Drive Ugly Evergreen Road Ugly

The California Highway Patrol closed Redwood Drive between Evergreen Road and Bear Canyon Road. Residents of Garberville and Redway will need to drive around on Hwy 101 to access the other town.

County Roads has been fighting to keep Evergreen Road, the access to the Meadows Business Park open. A slide keeps pushing across and county workers keep pushing back.

UPDATE 3:30 p.m.: North Redwood Drive was temporarily closed but those County crews whipped the worst of the slide off and are now back trying to open the Bluffs. Give ’em a cheer if you see them if for no other reason than they’re in the rain working and so you can go places in your nice, warm car.

UPDATE 5:15 p.m.: Those County crews have managed to open the Bluffs between Garberville and Redway once again. Mother Nature keeps pushing cliffs at them and they just don’t give up!

Heard a little while ago from honeydew FD scanner traffic that Wilder Ridge Road is closed near the Kings Peak turn off.

River is high in Phillipsville and on the loop road it is close to the bank. The gauge at Sylvandale says 26′ as of 1:45pm. Lots of degree floating down the river.

Wilder Ridge Road is open. Lots of little slides that the road crews are periodically blading. I just came through twice.

It looks like we are trapped in Redway for awhile. With the bluff closed and a slide between us and Dean Creek, I guess I am staying home for some time.

Speaking of waves and smiles, Kym you always do such an awesome job of keeping us updated on road and weather conditions and I thank you so much. In a rural area like ours this information is so valuable.

Worst case scenario. I will do like I did during Katrina and start collecting boats and have a flotilla party. I really hope the eel doesn’t breach. Does anyone know of a decent location to fill sand bags? Maybe the gravel piles on Redwood Drive? Thanks for your great updates Kym

About 4ish, Bluffs road signage as closed, no problem coming in from Dean Creek to Redway. I’ve heard rumors that the great slide was moving again. Any truth to that?

Is the road open between Briceland and Redway? I heard Old Briceland Rd is the only way open from a neighbor who did the trip.
