If you're planning a trip to California and the Pacific Coast this summer, please be aware that there has been a significant road slip south of Carmel that will impact reaching Big Sur and surrounds.

From CalTrans:
US-1
    [IN THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA AREA]
    IS CLOSED FROM 12 MI NORTH OF BIG SUR STATE PARK
/AT THE BIXBY CREEK BRIDGE/ TO 10 MI SOUTH OF THE CARMEL RIVER BRIDGE
/AT PALO COLORADO/ (MONTEREY CO) - DUE TO A SLIP-OUT - MOTORISTS ARE ADVISED TO
USE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE

"Part of Highway 1 near Big Sur crumbles into the sea; road closed indefinitely"

Thanks for the info, I was planning on spending a week in Monterey in early April and was hoping to go south to Big Sur and the parks along the way. Too bad  :(
