We tried really hard but just could not have a successful get together with just the 5 of us. We needed you to show up Yeah, seriously, it was grand! But a couple of the guys were having so much fun that we were not allowed to take photographic evidence 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you guys successful? How are the bridges holding up? The bridge by hypermart is down and I heard that a bamboo one has washed away as well.

The bridge by hypermart meaning national highway (the other bridge being Perdices St)? Or the spillway crossing 'shortcut' on the road next to hypermart that has had several pictures posted on FB (the other crossing being further up Valencia highway)? Edited October 20, 2017 by AlwaysRt Wow it is raining hard now - not exactly what we need at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonjack2847 Posted October 20, 2017 Author Posted October 20, 2017 I have just been told that both of the spillways have washed away.( they look like bridges to me haha)So if you have to go into town you are in for a long ride as the traffic all has to go on the only two roads left complete.I am not sure if you can go further over to take the road into town.

AlwaysRt has rented in a good location so he can go down the hill from Valencia to the Palinpinon road (below the landslides ) and drive straight to town. The spot where he would cross the Banica River is a high bridge (near Pigeon) and the river is not as big there. I think he could make it. I would try that route if I had to get from Valencia to town, but don't take my word for it. Go take a look Edited October 20, 2017 by Dave Hounddriver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hear much of people's thoughts about driving off a perfectly good ship like LST Peoria in a large steel coffin (amtrack) straight into the open ocean but been there done that many times. Only crappy part about it for me was sucking diesel fumes in the ship waiting for our turn to get out of there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go take a look Last I heard it was getting to be a victim of erosion, closed to vehicles - except for motorcycles. I hope that hols as it is a rout I take often to get away from traffic that will be even more handy in the next few months. Luckily they actually finished upgrading the road to concrete so no more mud and washout issues - except for the last 5-10 meters to the bridge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not get my roof fixed this week because its been raining too hard to work on it but if the weather is getting better next week then I needn't worry about the water leaks. Seriously, supposed to get some leaks fixed this week and the sealer works best when its not raining so good to hear that news. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
