Now that's some dirt!

These are pictures of our drive home from Chichi today. The drive up was even worse, but they worked all weekend to get things cleared up. In this picture you can tell that the mud was at one point across the whole highway due to the amount that is still in the center median.




Ken took this next picture out the passenger window. That dirt is covering 2 lanes of the four lane highway. We were traveling on the "incorrect" side for this time. No way it had stopped there, it must have been covering the whole thing at one point. This will take some serious time to clean up!
















This picture just shows a small bit of how they are cleaning everything up.













So, can anyone else see the four lanes of the highway? Yeah, we couldn't either. There were other parts of the highway that were just washed away. Overall they did a very good job making the roads passable and keeping us away from any danger. We did still avoid the outside lanes though, because you just never knew when you might turn a corner and run into a small mud slide.
