Access Restored to Pico Blanco

From the council website: "The Pico Blanco camp road is now open thanks to the efforts of the Beaver Work Party. The road is still a little rough around the edges, but passable by pickups/SUVs'. Vehicles with low clearance are not recommended. Road conditions will continue to improve through the first part of May. All events on the May calendar at Camp Pico Blanco are still on. May events include, but are not limited to, the Council Camporee, the OA Ordeal, Mom and Me Weekend, and Memorial Day Family Camp. The landslide on Highway 1 is south of Palo Colorado Road and is not affecting our operations."

Updates on Road Conditions

The access road to Camp Pico Blanco is temporarily blocked by a slide and associated debris at this time. An experienced crew with heavy equipment is scheduled to begin slide removal on April 9-10. The OA Spring Ordeal originally scheduled for the April 8-10 has been postponed. OA leadership is in the process of rescheduling the event. It is anticipated that the slide will be cleared and access restored by April 15, 2011. Please check the Monterey Bay Area Council website for current updates on camp road status. In addition, one lane of Highway 1 is expected to reopen at the Rocky Creek slide at the end of April. This will restore Access to the camp from Big Sur and points on the coast south. For the vast majority of Pico visitors, including those from Southern California, the Rocky Creek slide is not on the route to camp.
