Say it with me folks, "There's still 3 + weeks to go!"

The report includes the following comments, "It covers about 14 feet of the paved roadway. That cleanup is expected to be finished early next week."

And yes, while engineers will have to inspect a long-term solution...as evidenced in the pictures, we're not talking about tons of boulders. It looks like dirt, small rocks and trees. Dig it back with an excavator...haul it away in a dump truck (or ten)...and open the road back up

You've got to keep bringing that up, don't you.

Think of the education you got in driving school.

Too many Invidia and Buddy Club exhausts must've caused it.
