And On Occasion, Mother Nature Takes Over- January 2011

A couple of weeks after we spent Christmas in Zig Zag, OR in the Mt. Hood Forest (see previous post), the warm rains hit the mountainside melting the snowpack and swelling the rivers. The Sandy River decided to jump it banks about 100 yards in Zig Zag just down the street from David and Mark's cabin and took out the Lolo Pass Road...see live footage(video1 and video2) and a few pictures from the damage, clean-up and rebuilding the road when we visited a week later.
