NOW December 11 - Update to "A Walk Up the Quebrada"

When I wrote the post "a Walk Up the Quebrada," I realized I had no pictures of "the curve" from the top. Today I remedied that oversight.

It is 15 months after the hurricane and some things have changed, but not the roadway itself.

 Approaching "the curve" as it is today headed uphill.

Approaching "the curve" today headed down. The white-painted barriers have been there for a couple of months - long enough to get tagged with graffiti. In the early days following the hurricane there was nothing except downed trees to warn of any problem. After a week or so, someone - a citizen, not any official agency - liberated a couple of orange barrels and marked the danger zone in the downhill lane. Sometime later officials placed official orange barrels around the problem. Those barrels stayed for a while, tied to trees at the ends with plastic caution tape. Eventually those barrels were either liberated or knocked over the edge. (At least one is still down there; You can see it in the center photo below.) Then a loose semi-circle of plain concrete barriers was around the hole. Recently, those were replaced with these painted barriers with reflectors. Mind you, nothing has been done to fix the road.

As for what's behind the barriers:

'Nuff said.
