I have been riding up to the slides since they happened and once open I have made several trips up the 1 through them and the ground is safe and secure for now lol. Due to new operating procedures CALTRANS ANNOUNCES TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF HWY. 1 AT MUD CREEK/PAUL'S SLIDE. http://www.bigsurcalifornia.org/highway_conditions.html and until this currant storm pass through it will stay closed. I live 1 block off hwy. 1 and about 60 miles from the south end of the Hwy. 1 Mud Creek slide.
