Suggestions for roads and campgrounds on west coast

So true on the rebuilding process. There is a lot of things in the background that are going to make the rebuilding processes take a very long time. Also, the things like the tax rates will reset to current values for those that owned for a long time, meeting all the new codes, getting a builder (with the 10’s of thousands trying to rebuild from all the recent fires) They were initially told it could take 3 years or longer before they can begin to rebuild. Longer for the vegetation to rebound.

Again, not trying to hijack the thread, my deepest sympathies to those affected.

One of the problems is that Paradise is situated on a Lava Cap. Every house had its own old style Septic System and the soil is not all that thick. with virtually no percolation through the lava cap. That prohibited any major commercial construction. They will need to install a sewer treatment facility and run sewer lines and pumping stations before rebuilding will be allowed.

FYI, that lava cap came from Mt Lassen, 80 miles away, a long time before the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. Imagine the eruption that allowed that hot lava to flow for 80 miles. It is mind boggling even to contemplate it.
