Detours

Last week was rather interesting getting to work due to all the closed roads from the flooding. Hwy. 35 was closed all week until Friday afternoon. Monday and Tuesday I had to go on the detour to Viroqua to get to Genoa (route shown in red). This took about an hour on a normal 20 minute drive. Tuesday night I started going on the purple route. Hwy.162 was still closed but I went on it anyway. They were stopping some people and giving out tickets for driving on closed roads.This route takes about 35 minutes. The roads were washed out in quite a few places and there was a lot of mud and water still coming across the roads. They are a lot better now since we haven't had any rain for a few days.
