Hwy 530 reopens May 31, 2014, two months after the devastating slide on March 22, 2014.

 OSO slide memorial tree. Kris Regglebrugge has not been brought home from the slide and God willing she will be recovered soon. That makes the journey on the hwy tough.
 

 West side meets east. The group from OSO walked to the west side and met at the Memorial Tree.
 
The pastor from the OSO Community Chapel led a prayer and then a moment of silence. Then everyone from the tree walked to the west, walking the OSO folks home.
 It was total respect, humility and amazement that carried people across the hwy. I could not have imagined the first trip across would be by car. This made it all so meaningful.
A new elevated hwy will be completed hopefully by Oct 2014.
