Just in time!

Yesterday afternoon and evening saw the heaviest rain and wind of the season.  Fortunately, through great planning (or luck?) the drainage diversion was put to its first test.  The road was unphased and the usual washout at the top of the cottagers' lane was untouched by washoffs as can be seen above.
     The orange marker is the rock outcrop that used to be a big problem.  But now the water is pulled back into a ditch and away from the road.
      Ditches are a roads' best friend.
