This closure is one of a handful in Mendocino County that is commonplace during times of high water. The other roadways often affected are State Route 218 near its intersection with Highway 1, State Route 175 in Hopland, and Ukiah’s Perkins Street as well as Talmage Road.

I like to think of myself as a reporter for the Average Joe. Journalism has become a craft defined largely by city dwellers on America's coasts. It’s time to take it back. I have been an Emerald Triangle resident since 2006 and this is year ten in Mendocino County. Please, email me at matthewplafever@gmail.com if you know a story that needs to be told.
