The rains never cease

 OK>MT>CA

May 27th 2022, I moved to Chowchilla, CA. bought my 24 x 8 foot travel trailer, moved to Santa Nella, CA, and commuted to Sunnyvale which was 182 miles per day over a mountain, not sustainable in the, "unprecedented" storms we started to have.  I moved to Gilroy, CA, commute was down to 82 miles a day, more storms and substantial flooding, see YouTube Gilroy floods.  I moved to Lupin Lodge in the Santa Cruz mountains in Los Gatos commutes is now 42 miles a day.  Here's the challenge:  In the last 21 days since I moved my travel trailer here, the three roads I had off this mountain are now down to two thanks to complete road failures on Old Santa Cruz Highways and Aldercroft Heights Road, and the road we are left with, Alma Bridge Road is down to one lane in one section due to a partial failure.  Good times.  See my YouTube for video.  More storms on tap for the next two days, so here's hoping no more roads fail.
