Did I understand Tom Worthan to say that the 187 roads and bridges damaged in the flood were repaired within a year? Apparently he doesn't count the bridge on Mason Creek. I finally found another way to get from the Bill Arp area over to Post Road because after two or three years I still couldn't afford a helicopter and there was no bridge. Just curious, is that bridge open now?
