  5. Where is the image of the feeder road on 290 ???? We want to see how bad that was!!!!

    2. I got a bunch of video of the 290 feeder. Had front seat tickets at Las Fuentas. My favorite was somebody driving a 1/2 ton single cab Heavy Chevy truck plowing through it with water up to the hood. It was impressive to say the least. I’d like to shake his or her hand.

      Close second was a big rig a few minutes later with higher water. He pushed a wake in front of him that could have been surfed.

      But then the wrecker truck stalled out and nobody else was up for the challenge.

      The people doing 60 on 290 hitting a foot of water was just too dumb to enjoy. The feeder drivers were very entertaining though.
