Several weeks ago when we were travelling north towards Washington we drove Hwy 101 from Klamath to Crescent City, CA.  The highway had suffered a major landslide a few months before and it was CLOSED most of the day while workers cleared it.  Overnight and for 2 hours at lunchtime they opened it one lane so there were still delays.  We left very early that morning so we would be past that area before they closed it from 8am-noon.  It was kind of foggy that morning so we didn’t get a real good look at the area.

Now we are heading south through the same area and we learned that it was no longer closed for several hours at a time  So we were able to go through that area a little later in the day and got to see it real well.

It’s a huge, high cliff that slid onto the road!  I can see why it took months to get it cleared enough and secure the cliff enough to allow traffic through it again.  Here are a few pictures:
