So many roads and NO way out!


This doesn't begin to show how deep it is.
The mud goes up over the truck tires in the

In an earlier post I showed some pictures of a seasonal road in the area. Now our everyday road looks about the same. Thanks to several warm days, the snow and ice all melted and the road thawed and sank The buses can no longer come through. Tonight I saw the first car I've seen all day. (only trucks have gone through) Needless to say--it sank!
A call to road commission says "Sorry, their trucks can't make it through?!" Hmmm! I was glad for a 4-wheel drive today, but after several trips through to meet the buses I decided to park down the road where we can still get out. We had an inch of rain last night and are to get a couple more tonight. If this is spring thaw in January, I wonder what spring time will be like?!

It's too bad your roads have washed away. Luke found Carlin and Kyle on Runescape the other day and asked, Mom, when can we see them? Come on down! Good thing for your 4-wheel drive.

The boys were quite excited to have found Luke, too! Sounds like your country has quite a bit of rain, too?! We do need to get together again--besides on the blog.

We definitely don't spend money on car washes!
