We noticed this slide when we were entering the Hideaway park and decided to go get a closer look and possibly look for a signal in the massive debri piles. We figured it ran last night due to warm temps, rain and the heavy winds that loaded the persistent layers. We never got to the crown but estimated depth is 3' to 5' X 500' wide. The debri pile was quite impressive possibly 15 to 20 feet deep with some trees scattered about. another photo by andrew korpi
