Amador County – Police investigated a minor mudslide yesterday above the public bathrooms at the intersection of Highway 49/88 and Main Street in Jackson. The hillside gave way after being battered for over a week by intermittent rains. Police arrived on the scene Wednesday afternoon to make sure there was no damage to the bathroom structures. “This has happened many times before with this hillside and it was just a matter of when it would happen again,” said concerned Jackson resident Kevin Clark at the scene. “Water could seep through the rock and cause a bunch of damage,” he added. Fortunately, the parking lot is surrounded with a sturdy retaining wall that prevented the dirt from damaging the restrooms or making its way to the street.
