Mudslide on Nemo Loop Road

A contractor examines the bulk of a mudslide that settled onto Nemo Loop Road on Friday, cutting off access at the 10.3 mile mark. "It occurred as a result of that downpour last week," said Bob Dalrymple, Wrangell's district ranger. The slide covers about 125 feet of roadway, and ranges in depth from six to eight feet. The district has put a contract together for clean-up efforts, and Dalrymple is hopeful that the dirt and debris will be removed within the next week.
