Excavators remove debris from a landslide that blocked access from Seward to Lowell Point
“It’s a massive impact financially,” said Chance Miller, owner of Miller’s Landing in Lowell Point. “And that’s just for right now.” “They’re scooping earth, moving it, pushing it off,” she said from the road on Monday afternoon. “They’re trying to create a solid ramp access so that other equipment will be able to get up and they can mitigate some of the debris that’s above them.”
“There were a couple boulders there that we drove past, and then about 30 minutes later we got a call from our friends and said they weren’t going to make it,” he said.“We had such a good time. We had all the beer. We had all the fresh fish. The only thing we didn’t have was tartar sauce,” he said.
