    I have a good one today and should have been on the road already, BUT.
    As of 4:30 pm there was 2 feet of water and rising over a 3 mile stretch of the dalton, from mile post 142 to 145, updates as it changes. It has not updated yet. lol
    the reason I have not left yet is dot has the road closed till 1 pm, at mile post 52, which I did not get a report on till 11:00 pm last night, so I got that one before I headed out early this morning. lol

    I just hope the road holds through tomorrow till I get back across, it sucks to get your truck stranded on the wrong side. lol

    The Dalton, Georgia?

    I thought you Alaska guys dealt with stuff like that pretty much every day? Maybe I watch too much TV.

    LOL, Just updated, shoulder have washed out, down to one lane, still just 2 feet of water flowing, so good to go.
    It will take 5 hours to get there, hopefully there will still be something left and it holds through tomorrow. lol

    Might be a good idea to find an alternate route there, driver

    No, sir. One of the few states I have yet to visit. Based on your comment there must not BE an alternate route, then?

    Normy, what he hell you doing on here???
    The water was gone by the time I got there, just the shoulders on both sides were gone too. That sucked because Jim River crew had totally redone that section and chipsealed it, the best piece of the whole road.

    Plenty of alternate routes, but they require air or jet boat, snow machine, 4 wheeler and or a dogsled to use. lol
