The internet has amazing amounts of current information, but sometimes it’s difficult to find it.

We drove on some horrific but thankfully shallow mud (we now look like we’re driving a white Prius that was splashed with a frappuccino) bypassing the construction equipment, along a stretch that the radio road report said was a “dry road”—or maybe they meant the paved part was dry (it was!)!
