Flooded

We started north this morning, after picking our way back to pavement.
Today's goal is to get ourselves up into the southern end of the Eastern Sierras. One more day and then we're in the land of hot springs.
~~~
Part way up they had the road blocked off, the only pavement going along this side of the mountains. We had a massive park-in at the only rest stop and adjoining property.
Seems the summer storms had washed off this side of the mountains and flooded across the divided 4 lanes and then head down the roadway.
~~~
They let us get moving once the water flow was down enough to leave 6' of pavement exposed.
I'm sure we could have forded it a long time ago.
