1/ The washout of #HWY1 at Rat Creek is really impressive, so I think I'd like to make a thread about things that I notice in pics & videos, then hypothesize on how the large rain event may have triggered this washout. TLDR I think the road was responsible for its own demise.
2/ Let's orient ourselves first. Here's Rat Creek (yellow pin) in comparison to the rest of central California. (This thread will develop slowly as I put info together, so please bear with me)

Rat Creek is part of the AMAZING Sant Lucia Range which has the steepest coastal slopes in the Lower 48. (important for later). The range is also home to the @LosPadresNF , the Ventana Wilderness and a multitude of breathtakingly beautiful state parks and like Pfieffer Big Sur.
