1 REPORT FOR MILE 249: Alex Derr Jan 31, 2009 1:17 PM   A landslide started near the top of the bluff at Cascade Head and swept hundreds of trees into a pile at the shoreline. Some trees and a lot of dirt have been swept into the ocean. I believe this occurred within the past two weeks, based on conversation with another pilot who flies this route frequently.   MORE    Cascade Head landslide NW    Description: View of the landslide from the northwest.
