The Road to Nowhere (formerly FS39)

Well, just in time for the summer motorcycle traffic etc., North Pine Creek took out the road. We stopped this group of bikers who had gone under the road closed sign and made it to the other side of the washout. But what they didn't know, but we informed them, was that this was the little washout, the entire bridge at Lake Fork was taken out by the creek as well. So we let them make up their mind, to believe us, or to go on up the road another 5 miles to find the road totally impassible only to turn around and find that this piece had continued to erode and to find themselves stuck, behind the barrier that said road closed.


They turned around and came back across and went on a different route to North Idaho. Smart.
As you can see here, the road wasn't too sturdy.
