Tet road now has some deep water bars at start Current Conditions Saturday, October 13, 2018
About 1 km up just above where the newly constructed part of the road deep sharp water bars were installed. I went up in a allwheel drive Astro van and was dragging bumpers and trailer hitch. The cross ditches above the winter lot are easier to go through. Hoping they fix them up so people can drive up there. Let’s hope some common sense happens.
