A bunch of years ago I hiked across the slide to Cima and around the curve to where #20 and #40 were wrecked. I recall that the grade below the slide was pretty much obliterated, but one lone telegraph pole was still upright in the slide down the hill. In looking at the aerial views I see a new road has been cut onto the grade up from US 160 around the curve where 20 and 40 wrecked and it looks like a house is alongside the grade just below Cima. The place is probably off-limits now.......
