A few days ago we accessed a trail head right where a major bridge had been washed away by a storm sometime in the recent past. Our hike went nicely but the next day, in order to access that same trail head and continue to the next one there was no way to get the truck or scooter across the river. Our Plan: park the scooter on the other side of the river (the same side as the trail path for the successive day’s hike) and when we “popped” out at the trail head we would “trespass” through the construction zone and “walk the plank” the workers put across the river to get from one set of machinery to the other.
A local construction company has this for a lawn ornament. An old crane holding up a defunct lawn tractor.
You two are just a couple of thrill seeking Rebels. Hope all is going well. Looks like you are having the time of your lives. So glad for you both. Gladder still that we can follow along with you guys.
Just saw you two were trying to get somewhere yourselves? Any luck yet?
The inevitability of logistical challenges.
It did feel weird being somewhere that we kinda knew we didn’t belong. The logistics part was actually fairly fun.
cute post!
Thanks. We did not feel to cute at the time as the deer flies were really bad. I killed 120 during a 4 hour hike.
Glad to see road closures aren’t slowing you down. Why let a little thing like a washed out bridge stop you guys. Keep on hiking!
Hi Patty! Nice to hear from you. Only other way to do the hike would have been to make it a 20 miler (no freaking way these days) or ride the scooter an extra 20 miles around the detour. I think we made the right choice……well, we didn’t get caught anyway. Hope the summer is treating you nicely.
