amazing what 3 inches of rain can do isn't it?

Mother Nature will do her best to preserve what is hers..

I've hit a washed out road going about 50 and it effed us up pretty good. Bodys were fine, but the old car didnt fair out so well.

Just got back last night from mother G.
what a great weekend perfect weather for Aug.
But the rain really did do a lot of damage.
Wash road was pretty bad at wash 10 there was about two five foot holes the underpass to boadmanvill was filled with sand.
maybe an RC car could go under but nothing else.
