The Bog Revisited

I ventured out on the roads today to do an outreach at Kalomo Hospital. We have had five days of sunshine now, so the roads are beginning to dry out.

The top photo shows a full view of The Bog, notorious for trapping vehicles in its mire last week. The left side is much improved, thanks to the work of Art Nine and the maintenance crew. They filled low areas with sandbags and then spread a layer of gravel on top.

The second photo is a close-up of the non-improved right side of The Bog—still intimidating with its tire-sucking mud. On the far right you can see the detour that was created around The Bog during the worst of the road woes.

If the sunshine holds, we can send the students for outreaches this Sunday. But our road experts tell us that any major rains will make The Bog impassable for our buses and maroon us once again. Let’s pray for more sunshine.
