The temporary gravel road through our backyard will be ready for limited driving sometime today. Emergency vehicles will be able to get through, which will be good. Not sure I want to drive my Mini on it right away, but I don't so much mind the walk through the woods.

It will be months, at least, before we can use our actual road again.

We are grateful to the merrier gods for their jest, which hurt no one, damaged almost nothing, strengthened our community, and allowed us to develop a great working relationship with county government.
