przedSo, no bears have made their appearance at the cottage so far.
But when we tried to drive into town for dinner tonight we found that the storm that came through last night felled a tree right across the very narrow road that goes into the cottage. Basically, we're trapped.
We've left a message with the neighbor who's supposed to sort out emergencies for the cottage's owner. And if we haven't heard from anyone by tomorrow we'll be wading in with the axe and seeing if we can shift it ourselves. It is, fortunately, not the biggest tree I've seen go down, but it'll still be a lot of work to move it without a chainsaw.
So glad we've got cell access or we'd be in really big trouble.
