MY HAPPY PLACE
Did i miss it? and Does anyone have the exact location that the rockslide happened, just trying to understand if its in the area after the last hotel along 140 where the road starts to climb, that area has seen lots of activity since the fire and the air tanker crash a couple of years back.

wouldn't surprise me if more slides happened as the earth heats up and cools from the summer temps and maybe a California tremor.

YOSEMITE — Park officials are reporting that Highway 140 (El Portal Road) into Yosemite National Park is now open, after a rock slide at Dog Rock closed the roadway on Monday, June 12.
Work was completed earlier than expected. The scheduled time to reopen had been set at 6 a.m. on Sunday.
The first two miles of the road from the park boundary will be signed as a no-stopping zone, and motorists are warned that there may be gravel and debris in the roadway, so please drive with caution.
Hopefully, this will help to ease the miles-long backups on the Highway 41 entrance that motorists saw today.
As is always the case, it is best to check road conditions before heading to the park.
For current road conditions in the park, call 209/372-0200 (press 1 then 1).
