“Bad officials are elected by good citizens who don’t vote.” George

(Note:
Indian Head road is not passable at this time; most any time it rains, and
for a while afterwards, the road will turn to sludge and your car will remain
where it is until it dries out or a passing crazy person does a good deed and
pulls you out. Please remember this and remain cautious during monsoon season!)
