I just attempted a 48 mile route with my wife that we used to drive up to a few years ago.It leaves the highway just south of Atsion on 206,meanders 48 miles through Wharton without recrossing it's path or crossing or using a blacktop road.It always took approximately four hours of driving time not including stops.I had areas that were no go's in wet weather at least in my truck they were no go,s.I have not driven the route in several years because the road over Sleepy Creek was ripped up here 39.69425° N 74.68969° W and this was part of the route.I was informed on this forum that that particular spot was fixed two years ago,I had not been there in about that long and it had a new pipe in it then but was not covered up and monster trucks had been driving over the pipe..Well I started my route and made it to this part and it was fixed as i had been informed.I headed on to Constable Bridge of which made it to literally within shouting distance when stopped by a wash out here 39.66092° N 74.66034° W.Does anyone know how long this wash out has been here? With a jacked up truck you can do it but I would rip the bottom out of my XL7.I also encountered bad washout here
39.69192° N 74.68016° W that could be driven around but if you slipped and fell in you were toast.It appears at this spot that perhaps the Mullica flooded and backed up into Sleepy creek and came up out of the swamp and ripped a 5 ft deep hole in the road.I know of no storm that could have did this this year at either sleepy creek or down by constable bridge.Is this damage from last year? I had to turn around and head all the way back out to 206.It makes no sense to fix the sleepy creek wash out with the new pipe and then leave this canyon just north of Constable Bridge unless it is recent damage that hasn't been gotten to.This could be fixed much easier with a few truck loads of dirt whereas Sleepy creek would wash out any dirt without a new pipe this ditch I don't believe runs all the time anyway or if it does would take a much smaller pipe.
PS,Half of the ride it was dark out and I didn't see Bigfoot.Perhaps he was raiding weenie roasts at Fred Millers bogs,I did see someone camping with a fire going next to the trailer.Squatch was probably biding his time in the woods waiting for the weenies to get done.
