Rockslide on Chuckanut

I was coming back from my latest housesitting stint in Bellingham yesterday when I was waved down by an on coming car. "There's a rock slide ahead. You'd better go around." I thanked the man and took his advice under consideration. Going around is no small endeavor on a scooter. It would add about an hour to the ride and I don't have that kind of time to waste. I'm a busy man, as we all know*.

When I got to the slide, I zipped by the line of cars who must have been just planning to wait until the rocks eroded away, and zigzagged my way through the rocks. Scoot Scoot for the win! As I continued down Chuckanut, the highway dept. make-things-better vehicle was just arriving, so I wouldn't have had to wait too too long anyway. But still, I was glad I was on a low footprint vehicle. Let's see your SUV or AWD Subarus do that!

Pfft. My helicopter would have just flown over the whole mess. And dropped bagels on your scooting head.
