We had quite an adventure getting Todd, Jess, and Porter home from the airport. We were driving back and found the road closed, so we had to take a detour. We found out today that there had been a fatality of a moped driver on the main road, and as a consequence, the road was closed for several hours. We guessed that an accident had occurred, as the detour seemed poorly planned and took us over a very narrow, partly gravel road unsuited to the volume of traffic it had to handle. A mile or so short of getting back to the highway, everything in both directions stopped. The road had become very rough, and a car had become stuck in a series of deep potholes. Hundreds of cars are in the middle of nowhere in the dark. Eventually, the car was extricated and one-way movement was initiated. This is not an easy process without direction, and everyone just sat for quite a time. We were only a couple of cars from the trouble spot and someone in the other lane finally stopped so that some cars from our lane could proceed.
There was a full moon so I tried to take some photos as we waited.
