A BRIDGE TOO FAR 12/16/2012

During the previously told about storm before Thanksgiving, a log jam dammed up Hunter Creek that gently flows around our RV Park.  When that dam broke the creek course changed and flowed through our park.  This massive 4:00 AM wall of water met resistance at the clogged culverts at one section of our road. It then backed up again and flooded the park deeper, eventaully because of the continuing rain and the dammed culverts flowed over the road and washed it all away.  A temporary, narrow and scary road was put in a couple days later.  Then, last Saturday, a crew was able to come in and rebuild it.  It was fascinating to watch the men and equipment do their job.
 
I had to leave.  I was there for several hours.  By the next morning there was a road back in place.  Nope.  No picture of that yet.
