My goal was to make it to Mountain City, with no idea what would lay ahead.... I headed north along the highway past Tuscarora and some interesting chert nodules that looked like they were being mined. As the highway disintegrated into a dirt road through ranchland, I saw a warning sign telling me of washouts. My curiosity could not hold me back so I followed the road to the point where the washout was visible, and indeed there was no way to cross! The trip wasn't a total loss, I got to see mountains and explore a part of the country I have never been to before. I just will have to try the other way to Mountain City, which I think I will attempt on Memorial Day since I have that extra day off.
