WOULD YOU BELIEVE? YES, SONORA PASS IS **CLOSED** AGAIN


Several popular mountain passes are closed this morning due to high country snow.

Caltrans reports that Highway 108 Sonora Pass is closed at Kennedy Meadows, and Highway 4 Ebbetts Pass is closed at the Mt. Reba Turnoff.  In Yosemite National Park, Highway 120 Tioga Pass is closed at Crane Flat.


Caltrans reports that the passes will reopen once the weather permits and crews remove debris from the highways.

--------

What a year!  I think this is the third time Sonora Pass has closed in the past 30 days or so but I haven't been writing it down like I usually do.  If you've been keeping record, let us all know.

Drive safely.  And have a safe Memorial weekend.  Remember, we still have Rim Fire tee and sweatshirts available at the Fire Station on Hwy 108 during regular business hours, 8-5.  Contact me if you happen to be up here at other hours:  blythek@mac.com or 209-352-1059.
