By Friday night it had been broken up and moved out of the way to open the road up.

It's gonna take more than just removing the rock(s) to safely re-open the road, the road needs major repair, as well as ensuring the rest of the hillside is stable.

Since we spend the winter near Zion we get the local Email version of the paper. It said late Friday that it was fixed and was ready to reopen.
It did not explain what they meant by ready to use.

.....at your own risk! :C

When they get those boulders moved, I bet they'll find The Coyote underneath.

Time for dynamite!

Odd it didn't continue on down the hill. Would have made the cleanup much easier. Must have been in free fall and not tumbling when it hit. Pretty place.

Heck, what's a few rocks just sitt'in on the roadway gonna matter anyway? Show'em who's boss!

THAT is NOT going to buff out...


Road Repair Needed quickly. Road is broken. and dented.
