rent a helicopter with a belt lift and hoist your 968 over the road slide! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

I am having trouble determining where that slip out is on google maps north of Big Sur at Rock Creek. It doesn't look like there is any alternate routes in that area.....

Heading North on Rt 1 from San Simeon Does anyone have a good alternate route to cross back over to Rt 101 North ? Rt 1 North is closed 13 miles north of Big Sur at Rock Creek....

Check out Nacimiento Road (I think it may also be called "Hunter-Liggett Road" in parts). It's the only way I know about. I haven't taken it in a number of years, but it is a great road. Goes through the mountains and gets quite narrow and very very tight curves (= you have to go slow in parts - no choice). A wonderful road that should be a blast in a 968. It's not a good route if you're in any kind of rush. It's going to take some time, but is well worth it.

The last time I was on it was probably a good 20 years ago. It was paved, but narrow, windy, no other cars, and you're out in the middle of nowhere with some spectacular views. Make sure you have gas, water, and munchies. If my memory hasn't gone completely south, you're going to love the drive. Of course, with Hwy. 1 closed, it might be seeing a few more cars these days. If you do wind up taking it, please post a report. I'd love to hear about it and find out how well my brain cells are still functioning
