Five Feet High and Rising
It’s been raining pretty much nonstop down here for a few days now and my town is on the brink of getting separated from the rest of the world. Rumor has it that the bridge heading out of town is going to be closed in a few hours due to rising water levels, and the road I take to work was literally inches away from being flooded over when I came in this morning. To the best of my limited geographical knowledge, because of other areas already flooded, the only way out of town is going to be straight north, up US 167, which just happens to be the first road I planned on taking tonight when I head home to Michigan. Unfortunately, there is a river I will have to cross at some point, and whether or not I can find a bridge that hasn’t been closed will be the deciding factor in how successful my trip out here will be. We’ve got a US atlas, an Arkansas map (that I plan on buying at the gas station before we leave) and several printouts from Google maps. Let the adventure begin.

Mad props to anyone who gets the reference in this post's title.
