Thanks to Sage K. for the tip. They saw a “stalled Jeep” blocking the outside lane just before the westbound Walking on Logs pullout, “making things a bit dangerous.” We’ve also just heard a dispatch for what was described as a possible two-vehicle collision in that area. Bottom line, if you know of anyone about to head that way, tell them heads-up at that last curve.
