The dispatcher told me a deputy would go to the scene to check it out. I actually witnessed three minor slides at that specific location. The last occurred as I drove away/past it. At that moment, a bit of gravel came sliding down. By itself, it wasn't much, at all. And I attempted to report the proper context of what I had seen. I wouldn't want this call trumping a more significant request for service. My primary concern was the instability of the rock in that location. It's one of those points that is very close to the road. And because I witnessed three small events, I thought it should be checked-out by someone with more expertise than me. If a larger event had happened at that spot overnight, possibly hurting someone, I'd have felt pretty lousy if I had never called-in what I had noticed. Thank you, Tami.

I'm sure glad the rock landed where it did! Just curious, what did they say at the Sheriff's Department when you called? Great video, Mark! I’m sure glad the rock landed where it did!
