12:54 PM: Thanks for the tips/pics – SW Genesee east of Avalon is blocked because of truck trouble. We just went by – westbound traffic is getting through but an officer is diverting EB vehicles at the top of the hill.
1:10 PM: Radio communication indicates only “local traffic” and buses are being allowed through, so we’d advise avoiding TFN. The cleanup is estimated to need at least another hour.
2:56 PM: We just went by. Still closed.
4:38 PM: Just verified, open and clear.
At least that looks easier to gather up than those 100s of cast iron bowling balls from last time.
Not even close to as good as the load of steel balls rolling down that hill. I still smile thinking of that most excellent event.

I forgot how awesome that was. It really feels like the basis for an annual event. The running of the balls?
They finally just finished clearing the [stuff] from the road. Genesee is now open again.
Is that exercise equipment? If they want to add it to my collection of unused exercise equipment in my garage it’s not that far away…
Geez, I can’t believe The Great Genesee Steel Ball Roll is nearly 1 1/2 years ago! I didn’t even think it had been one year yet! 😮 —Mike
