The road is damaged in a number of places and is impassable due to a mud slide. The slide is about 20 feet wide and two feet thick across the whole width of the road and is embedded with boulders. It has created a dam wall and there is a pond extending another ten feet up the road. You may be able to get through in a SxS or high clearance 4x4 but until it dries it is a marginal proposition.

The road has been repaired. There is still ongoing work being performed including adding gravel, grading and repairing the wash-aways on the creek side. Wonderful to see our tax dollars being used as they should.
They were done with the road and it washed out again yesterday. They are nearly done with it again but it is still marginal. We destroyed the oil sump on the Mercedes getting in yesterday. You can now follow the oil trail to our cabin. The road crew have a sense of humor; they painted the rock we hit, blue.
There are no visible water lines but a lot more tracking cable is sticking out and a few pieces of white PVC pipe are stuck in the weir. Our water pressure is fine.
The road department has two graders currently working on the road. The road is now passable but the damage is so severe that it will take them until Friday to repair it.
The bad news is that our water pipe is now exposed.
John,
I have put in a service request with the Iron County Road Department and have asked for a call back with status. Unfortunately, it may take a while due to the heavy rains hitting the area. However, they have responded quite well in the past with relative speed. Please keep us informed of any changes.

Thank you John. I made Mike aware as well. Hopefully the county can clear the road.
