Could be a long few months....

Well not sure if word has gotten around that the major highway between Westbank (where we live) and Penticton (where Neil works) has been closed for a week now. There is no sign of it reopening anytime soon either. There is a large fissure in the mountain and they are concerned of a huge rock slide, so they are trying to bring it down by machine.
So my parents have so graciously offered for Neil to stay with them while he has to work, and then he will come home on his days off. He works Tuesday-Saturday.......I miss him already! It's going to be a long winter if what they say is true and it takes months to reopen!
Praying that they can at least get single lane open!!

If the road is closed, how can people move from one side of the river to the other...even on their days off?

I agree with the fact that it could be a long winter if that is the situation. Best of luck in getting a single lane open.

He had to go across Chute Lake to get to Naramata last night, or they can go through Princeton...a 40 minute drive that is now taking about 2 hours!
There is a water taxi now but the weather is fighting that too.
