HWY 131 TO OPEN SOON?

Just after I finished my post this morning I heard the highway between Netarts and Oceanside may open as soon as this weekend (weather pending)?!  In just five days?  I've had my eye on it, though as I mentioned, I have not been able to walk up there for a week, or so.  Just a couple of days ago it was difficult to imagine how they were going to fill the large gap between the rock buttress and the level of the old road.  What I didn't realize was the fact they had no intention of filling the gap, or returning the road to it's former level.  Progress is being made at lightening speed.  In this photo you can see the new road is much lower than the old road (which was previously at the level of the orange cones in the photo).  I am encouraged and excited by this news and additionally what I was able to see with my own eyes.  This looks promising!  I'll keep you posted...
