The news is not good and it took me a long while to realize that no matter how much we want to go - we can't get to the cabin! So there.
I remember being amazed the first time this mountain decided to turn into mud. Amazed at the look and the texture of the slime coming out of gaps in the forest and oozing down and overflowing the ditch and crossing the road. I remember when this stretch of highway was actually a passing lane (and I have all those memorized). Since that time, we have watched the big trucks and earth movers carving bypass channels down the side of this mountain. The trees across the road have died from being smothered in the goo. We drive by every trip and comment on how Mother Nature sure keeps trying to fight man's best laid plans. Obviously, this year she found another route. We'll see it in June when we make the trip.
For now, the route south would take us at least 10 and 1/2 hours just driving time - a bit much for a long weekend. Sure hope we don't have any squatters at our place letting in the mice. Sigh...
later man, jan
