Bridge

The bridge is officially closed now, and we can't afford to build a ford across the river, because the property owners want a LOT of money.  The government works department has started some repair on the bridge, which means it's closed.  We do not know how long they will take to repair the bridge, nor if the repairs will be permanent or a stop-gap measure until later.  What we do know is that when trucks go across it, it moves and teeters, and we know that each progressing rain makes it worse as the river edges erode.
 
But, seeing a tractor has to be a good sign... right?

except now we can't go anywhere until it's fixed (-;
