snousleWell, if things don't go badly sometimes it wouldnt be an adventure would it?
The road to this weekends campsite was more difficult than expected. Sixteen miles from Colfax, through iowa hill, and down to the river - except the road didn't actually go that far. The camp is dry so we cannot stay.
The road was barely passable and the trip took more than two hours. We could not turn around and had to cut down a tree to get through. My half tank of gas is more than half gone and that was mostly downhill. Another car has a brake problem and we have a broken trailer. We are well equipped and everyone is ok but getting back might take a long time indeed. John has our coordinates and will send rescue if needed.
And we have Internet. Of all things.
Definitely the worst clusterfuck ever. Could get real expensive.
Update: yeah we had Internet but I could not post. I'm now back on pavement but the trailer has not arrived as of 2:45. Will wait till 5 and go to Iowa hill to get assistance if necessary.
Update 2: they made it with the trailer, now in Colfax regrouping. All cars having trouble but at least we can get service if needed. They want to stick it out and find a new site. Will report more later.
