Comments
This is the 4th time Bridge Canyon has slid onto my property over the past 36 years. Debris pile pile is 15 ft. tall and 50 yards long. This time is was not as large as the last time (Feburary 2009). I believe it happened during the rain storm last night and started looker's left of the large cornice at the top of the canyon on the skyline ridge.
