Happens every time it rains...

Never fails out here. Someone always tries to drive my road right after a rainstorm (a little over a half inch fell early this morning). Normally I don't even offer to help because it is too muddy for me to even get to them. Fortunately, these folks were stuck in a spot that I could easily pull them out of. While we were setting up for the tow, three other vehicles came along looking to get out and I told them all the same thing - if it doesn't rain again, it will be at least a day (most likely 2 days) before the road will be passable all the way to the highway. Bad news is there is a chance of more rain tonight. 72,79,58, .66",B

Good video. What are tourists out there looking for? Birds, plants...? Just curious.

2 of the vehicles were tourists staying at a local Hipcamp site / 1 vehicle staying at a local Airbnb / 1 vehicle a relatively new landowner. None of these people were aware of the road conditions after a storm.

…maybe Ben could use a water buffalo buddy and the muddy roads could be
covered quickly… would be an eye opener for the tfl uninitiated… you are a Samaritan.
don't know about the snow…
