Title: Ebbets Pass Cleanup
Post by: dub on April 15, 2016, 11:53:48 AM
Alpine County Sheriff's Office just posted these pictures on FB of Caltrans crews cleaning some winter rockslides off Ebbett's Pass.

Look at the size of that boulder!!

Damn, that's crazy. Would have been cool to see or hear what thing was like coming down.

If an enormous rock falls on the road and no one is around to hear it does it really make a sound?

If that came down on top of you, you wouldnt be concerned about the sound it made for very long.
