5:36 pm - 42 degrees - raining...
You would think that living up in the mountains we wouldn't have a lot of traffic or any traffic issues. Well there is and we do.
On nice days there are people up here who just want to drive around in the mountains, or some are heading to a trail head to go hiking. With all this rain we've been having lately, there are a lot of kayakers who are braving the swollen river - apparently its a great class four run. In the fall there are a lot of hunters out and about scouting getting ready for hunting season and even more during hunting season.
Currently its the loggers who we're seeing the most of. There is quite a lot of land around us that is owned by a large timber company and there is always something going on, so we run into loggers rigs, company rigs, equipment trucks, log trucks, semi's bringing in large equipment, etc.

| They were parked there to let everyone know to be extra cautious on the blind corners, a lot of dump truck traffic on the that day. |
Normally all the traffic isn't really a big deal, but there is one sharp hairpin corner on the gravel road to our house where accidents regularly occur. And this morning the county road struck again...
The lowboy trailer was too long and didn't quite make the corner. They had to unhitch the trailer from the semi and unload the bulldozer. They used the bulldozer to pull the trailer back onto the road. After getting the trailer straightened out, they hooked the trailer back up to the semi and off it went, with the bulldozer following at its own leisurely pace.
It's not the first time this has happened {click here} and it definitely won't be the last time.
