Valley of the Dolls
... didn’t have a paper map, we decided, how bad could it be if we ignored the sign and rode on? Evidently there were some pretty severe storms to go though the area a few days ago. The result of the storms: debris on the roadway (tree branches, tractor parts, etc.), mudslides and subsidence of roadways.
