Does commercial vehicles prohibited mean loaded pickups?

I think it includes empty pickups as well since a 3/4 ton pickup weighs more than 6000 lbs empty.

I haven’t been out there in a while, but isn’t the bridge the only access to a good number of houses?

The maps show a way from 101 but I have never tried it. If it really exists. A lot of maps in Humboldt are very , hmm…,theoretical.

Gee, I wonder if anyone will try to repair the bridge?

Naaaaaaaahhhhh… I forgot. It’s Humboldt.

$50 says pickup hauling, I dunno, bags of cement, or 4000 lbs potting soil, or other normal necessities, in water before October…
