I wanted to post this concerning Highway 101, 12 miles North of Brookings, Oregon. Highway 101 Closure There isn't a good local bypass in that area according to ODOT, at least not for large RVs....

we traveled from Newport to Brookings yesterday taking the detour around the slide area. other than going inland a couple hundred miles to I5 the only detour is Oregon hwy 255. we pull a 33 foot 5th wheel. 255 is a rough rout to take. steep, very tight corners, and a lot of road damage. it is doable, just take your time. 101 closure looks like it could be a long one. the slide is still moving and won't even start work until it stabilizes.
Hopefully with the major reconstruction that will be needed on 101, ODOT will do some pavement patching on Oregon 255, the coastal cities depend greatly on Summer tourist, the state also benefits from these visits.
