EISPIRATEN

Last week I spent some time on the Mt. Wilson Toll Road. I started up from Pinecrest Gate, where someone had placed a new sign warning of "unstable land conditions."



Another sign at Henninger complained of dog poop bags and beer bottles being left behind. It exclaimed, "No bullshit bro." Clearly "Murph," whoever that is, has had enough with y'all litterbugs.



Meanwhile, some of the gabion baskets are failing on the toll road just beyond the bridge.



And there was at least one small slide beyond Henninger.



Some larger ones from prior storms have already been cleared.

The campgrounds look nice and tidy, so maybe people are actually obeying the Murph man.

That section of the toll road above the bridge failed spectacularly 15 years or so ago. The gabion baskets are part of the remediation of that slide....

Looking at the landslide that covered the toll road just above the bridge (2008)...


Here is a view from below of the brand new baskets (2009)...

Amen, Murph! Thanks for report. Eaton Wash is gonna be pumpin after tomorrow's storm.

So long did that graffiti take to write?
And he trepasses on private land....tsk tsk.

Wasn't that big slide in 2005? Am I misremembering? How long was it closed?

I was up there on NYE morning, first time ever for me - I walked up from Altadena St because the gate was still locked.

Sign at the other side....



Some trail getting washed out.




Foggy and the trees were all wet and dripping on me so I didn't hang around too long.



I also took a photo of that sign.

I was too lazy to look through past posts on this forum to get a more accurate time frame. I had pictures from '08 so I assumed '07 was when it was. I don't stand by that though
