Highway I at Devil's Slide is Open
 

For those of you who were aware that Highway 1 between Half Moon Bay and SF was closed because of a landslide, it was announced yesterday that it is now open. So it is now possible to drive through Devil's Slide.

I heard that too - I was amazed at how fast they got that done.

They said, 1 month ahead of schedule!

When I was first learning to drive, my instructor gave me a "graduation" test - driving Devil's Slide on the cliff-hanging side! It was white knuckles for a while, but I got into the flow of the downhill curves and I felt I had really accomplished something at the end. In my experience, the most dangerous traverses of Devils Slide have been driving in the opposite - north - direction in fog or dark. Although you are on the "in" side next to the hill going north, there do seem to be a lot of nervous drivers going the opposite way who tend to edge over the center line - I've come close to a head-on several times this way.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear it's open. Someday I wont't be in the driver's seat and I can really enjoy the views from the cliffs.

Good grief dovima, I thought where I had to drive when I was in HS driving school was bad..I can't even imagine learning to drive on HWY 1. And I hate even being in a car when there is thick fog, lol. I am much more relaxed in an airplane than I am in a car. Strange me.
