Monday evening a couple mudslides closed Ophir Road to all vehicular traffic other than off road bikes and such … as seen below in the video clip of a motorcycle making it through the 3 foot deep and often very soft and mushy mix of mud, rocks and other debris.

The storm was actually very intense and lasted for a while, so it didn’t surprise me to see the amount of flow matter which existed … which came down from one of the steeper drainages on the north sude of the road, just to the west of the “halfway house” (about 1/2 mile to the west of town).
