Yeah, ABC (Channel 7) Los Angeles showed the roads on the news. Dirt bikes and 4-wheeler access. That's the good news. Bad news is Scotty's Castle will be closed a while for cleaning.

They *JUST* finished replacing that
section of road. :-(
Whatever seeds survived
should make for a pretty Spring, IF one can get there.

2015
In October 2015, a series
of storms passed across the U.S. Southwest and brought a
deluge of rain to the area's desert valleys.
The animation above shows satellite-based estimates of
rainfall from a
particularly large storm that passed over the area on
October 18. The
rainfall data are from the Integrated Multi-Satellite
Retrievals for GPM
(IMERG), a product of the Global
Precipitation Measurement
mission. Green-white colors represent the largest rainfall
totals,
which in some areas reached upward of 70 millimeters (3
inches) during
the 24-hour period displayed in the animation. These
regional,
remotely-sensed estimates may differ from the totals
measured by
ground-based weather stations.
Some areas of Death Valley National Park in California
were hit particularly hard. This video
shows a ground-based view of damage incurred by the park.
According to the Los
Angeles Times,
2.7 inches of rain gave rise to flash floods that damaged
Scotty's
Castle, a popular park landmark. But as the animation shows,
areas east
of the park also saw high accumulations, including Amargosa
Valley in
southwestern Nevada.

The natural-color image pair above shows an area within
Amargosa
Valley before and after the storm, on October 3 (top) and
October 19
(bottom). Both images were acquired with the Operational Land
Imager (OLI) on Landsat
8.
Comparing the two images, we can see that the shoreline
of Crystal
Reservoir changed somewhat after the storm, and the water
looks lighter
and rich with sediment. Carson Slough, west of the reservoir
and running
vertically through the image, is brimming with light brown,
muddy
water. The slough drains the Ash Meadows
National Wildlife Refuge—the
largest remaining oasis in the Mojave Desert. Severe
flooding and road
damage closed the refuge, but it reopened in less than a
week.
"The mud and debris was naturally cleared out of many
of the springs
within 24 hours, especially in the higher flowing
springs," the refuge noted
on Facebook. "The natural recovery was quite
amazing."
