Also, note that I have added a link to the right for winter conditions (La Nina 2011-2012)to our local district Cal-Trans FB page.
I like the Businesses are open with detours available for motorists part! That’s a loooong detour via Nacimiento
Kate: thanks for the update and the photo. it sure says it all, eh?
I am particularly grateful as tomorrow Father Hale is to be sworn in at the Hermitage to be the new Prior, I’m sure some folks would have been coming from the south for the ceremony.
Thanks, Jane
