@dustinmulvaney.bsky.social Nice shot, such a cool phenomena. I discussed this a little w/ CA SP expert Tim Hyland who estimated it'll take 10-20yrs for Big Basin to reestablish its canopy. Until then, 'fire following' species are gonna have a ball!

Save the date, folks!

A ribbon cutting for the famous bicycle and pedestrian "whale bridge" overcrossing at Chanticleer Avenue in Santa Cruz has been set for 5:30pm, May 14.

The marine-themed bridge has been slowly coming together since 2023.

As of about 11:30am Tuesday, NOAA forecast for SLV River at Big Trees has it hitting 13.2 ft around noon Thursday.

That's less than a foot from the 14-foot "action" stage where mitigation measures might be required.

The river hit 13.8 feet last Tuesday during the storm.
