Broken Road Not Taken

     Last September this area was hit with yet another brutal storm with flood damage.  A road fell apart almost from the inside out and has been closed ever since.  Tonight I got to see the pooch jump into the creek and swim like a crazy dog for the first time.  This creek runs along the road...so it was finally time to see for myself what the damages were.  It is a strange feeling to stand on a broken road.  In one spot my 6 year old stood near the crack.  It was taller than him.  Layers of sediment, rocks and asphalt could be viewed way down into the holes...like some strange science exhibit at a museum.  Luckily, no houses are close to this spot in the road...but I also wonder when they will repair it.  For now it just means a tougher morning commute for the chipmunks and one adventurous walk for a family.
