The turnaround at Burnock and Thompson's Lake is washed out.
00:06
You can only go one direction, otherwise you've got to go down Thompson's Lake and turn around.
00:14
Okay, David, and I'm sorry, just what was that intersection again?
00:19
It's the turnaround where Thompson's Lake and Burn Knox meet, Berne-Altamont Road meet.
00:29
I copy that.
00:31
61 to Pine Bush Base.
00:39
This is Pine Bush Base.
00:41
Go ahead.
00:43
Have a student for Y time.
00:45
Could you send the people out, please?
00:49
Definitely.
00:52
65 to David.
00:56
David, are you talking about up by long oil where I did my turnaround or is it before that?
01:01
It's before that.
01:04
At the old restaurant,
01:06
they crossed the street from that, that's all washed out.
01:09
You've got to be careful if you're even going up Thompson's Lake.
01:15
Would that be Thompson's Lake? Your speak south.
01:20
Yeah, I meant to say Thompson Lake.
01:21
Sorry.
01:23
Not good of directions.
01:26
Okay, so is the road, they have like stuff set up, it's like cones where it's down the one lane.
01:34
We had heard something earlier about the intersection of 156 and 157 being flooded but passable.
01:42
So if you're coming up the hill, you can go,
01:46
you can take that first left,
01:49
and if you're coming off the road, you can obviously turn left down the hill.
01:55
But if you are coming the other direction from down, like with Luke Long Oil, you will not be able to get into there.
02:06
All right, copy that.
02:08
So any drivers that might be traveling down Thompson's Lake Road, you will apparently have some difficulty if you're coming down from lung oil to get on to Thompson's Lake Road.
02:21
So please be advised you may need to divert.
