    FYI – people slow down the roads look like rainbows.  First rain in a long time oil all over.

    luckily, the dead end sign didn’t really mean that…:-\

      Patrick remarked, several times after returning, that it’s amazing it didn’t turn out that way, with big trees and other things along the path the driver somehow managed to needle-thread…

    WSB….it wasn’t just luck…someone was looking out for the driver!

    The vehicle was stolen. They hit our house and our neighbors’ causing considerable damage.

    @E…I’m sorry they caused all that damage to you and your neighbors homes  and yes it is infuriating but like I said someone was looking out for them and that they or that person was not killed.

Sorry, comment time is over.
