Staff with the Los Padres National Forest Service installed a new kiosk in the Lower Santa Ynez recreation Area, to help manage the increasing number of visitors at the Fremont Campground.
A portion of Highway 41 is now dedicated to a Los Padres National Forest Service Battalion Chief who died in a crash on the same stretch of road in 2017.
The slow lane of southbound Highway 101 south of Highway 58 in Santa Margarita was blocked off so emergency vehicles could respond to a car fire that was threatening nearby vegetation.
