One advantage of living on Highway 9, the main thoroughfare of SLV is that repairs to the road, power, or comm are prioritized. Unfortunately, there was so much damage to so many roads on Tuesday that I had many friends who couldn’t get home. Several towns were cut off. My neighbor (the one whose house caught the tree last week) called me Tuesday afternoon and said that he couldn’t get home. They had stopped him just before the fallen tree, he tried to go around the other way, but those roads were closed due to fallen trees as well. I told him about the trail from the road just before where the road block was to the bridge past our houses, and when he called to tell me that he was able to get home, I told my boss I was leaving work while I knew that I could still probably get home. I parked my car at the church, just before the closure and discretely walked past the person watching the road closure. I figured that if I couldn’t get past on the road, I could do the trail, but it was dark, muddy and I didn’t have a good flashlight. I’d gotten 10-20 yards past her when she called out at me and said I couldn’t go. I said I lived just around the corner, and she said she’d walk me there. As I mentioned earlier, before taking photos I grabbed my hard hat and high-viz vest. About the time I was finishing up, she had just walked someone past, came up to me and asked if I knew who was in charge. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret4est -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
