| Below: The two RV Gypsies noticed a fast moving stream that flowed across the road. Lee Duquette got out of the truck (their toad) to check to see if the stream was passable. It was not just standing water, but an actual running stream. Since the water was shallow and rocky (not muddy), Lee determined that the truck could cross the stream safely. | |
