They cannot come out until this clears.
01:32
Okay, 123, actually you can go through Riverview Rest Road, cut through B29 Chapin and River Road.
01:39
You should be able to get through there instead of going all the way around.
01:43

All right, all loud looks back around.
03:26
I didn't see anything else for a 496, one small branch down on the road, but it's passable.

03:33
Well, there's your control.
