CURRENTLY
The winter storms of 22'- 23' have done major damage to much of the coast. The roads are closed in multiple locations and the land is inaccessible to the public. Projected opening is mid to late summer.
FLOOD
In late January during the winter of 20’-21’ a massive rainstorm collided with the canyon, creating a flash flood of epic proportions. Due to a fire in the mountains the previous fall - it brought down gigantic redwood trees and boulders smashing through our main living quarters and out to sea. Many things were lost, some were spared and many things were gained. The land is currently in a state of reconstruction.
