Hi, all -

Per some photos posted a few weeks back, it looked like the road up to Alpine Tunnel was partially blocked by a rockslide just above the Palisades. Has the road been cleared?? It's been twenty years since my last visit, and I'd like to check out all the improvements.

I'm driving a Ford Escape Hybrid AWD* - very similar to Earl's. Advice as to my chances of making it up to the tunnel about ten days from now (assuming no major snowstorms) will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!

* 4 wheel drive, moderate clearance, no low-range gearbox.
