TBT: FALL IN THE COULEE

 TBT: It's the first week of October and when one lives in the Midwest that means Fall. In 2018 at this time this is what I was experiencing amidst road closures but graced with finding the silver lining with the magnificence of Fall. Here's the posting and the scene...

"Yesterday afternoon I was met by a road barricade in Stoddard where you turn onto County Hwy162 from Hwy 35 with no other info except sign saying Road Closed. I was so ready to be home but thought road repair and happy it was being done. 'Went through 1st barricade and turned at second onto Cty Hwy O going up to the ridge and back down at Kings Hill. Took 20 minutes longer to get home. Once home called County Sheriff's office to figure out where the problem area is. Turns out it was 2 miles 'past' us at T by K and 162 in Chaseburg section by old school where Depot Rd. meets the marsh, 'compromised from the 2 floods.' Eegads, how many times have we driven on that road in the last month???

 Later in the afternoon an electronic sign was placed in Stoddard at their road barriers. Oh well, one good thing of my detour was seeing fall on the ridge..." Oct. 2018
