Summer 2015 — Road Improvements

Hi all, we’ll shut things down here for the summer, other than this post to remind you the Quarry guys will be working on the shelf road periodically, all summer. They recently repaired the hazardous erosion at Shale Cut. The road will be chloride treated to control dust, as well as covered with a layer of crushed marble roadbase. If you’re headed up for summer recreation, bear in mind you may be delayed by the work.

Chloride application has to be done when the road is dry, so there is no advanced schedule. If you do find yourself up there when they’re applying chloride we advise not driving the road. Doing so will slime your vehicle as well as rutting out the soft road surface.
