EMERGENCY DIRECTIONS


If there are heavy rains, the mountains dump a large volume of water in the Route 644 stream and the road becomes impassable for a relatively short period of time. The stream rises quickly and settles quickly. This is easily overcome with a very short detour. DO NOT GO THROUGH THE WATER and risk having your car end up in the ditch!
