Catching Creek Road Delayed By Landslides Near Lundy Place
Traffic halted on Catching Creek road with Broadbext routing. A major slide blocks most progress while several smaller slides add to delays. The Spaulding Lumber Co has closed its mill at Catching Creek due to slides and hindrances, with reopening uncertain. Mary Lee Bushnell returns from Mast hospital for a check-up. Nearby residents, clubs, and families, including Clarence Ralph and Ostin Ralph, visit relatives and share local notices.
