Ten machines headed up Bigmouth today.  By the time we got to about 14 Km on the main it started to drizzle – so on with the rain gear, and at the slide at 32 Km it was coming down pretty good.  Half the crew turned back with the close lightning and heavy thunder and the other half stayed to make it through the slide and they got to the end of the road where the last bridge had been removed.  A very smoky day that blocked out all the good sights.
