I need to restock the peroxide and alcohol, too.
Clogged highways are what’s going to get most people. Get yourself a good map of the local backroads and plan out various routes. Don’t count on the gps to work. Check your local chamber of commerce or travel center. Here, they have free maps of each county that are very handy. I try to get updated ones every couple years and ones for surrounding counties several counties out.
Thanks for the tips. I’m a home grown chigger as is my brother. We’re fairly familiar with the ‘back’ rock roads. But I’ll tell you, this may sound paranoid, but the level of law enforcement has increased substantially in this rural area. The state patrol recently ‘absorbed’ the ‘water’ patrol (those are the enforcers of ‘safe’ boating on our rivers around here-so they say) and they have complete police powers now. The point being I’m not sure that they won’t block even the remote back roads. In any case we are preparing.
