| "Let's be careful out there" |
 Here's a scene you wouldn't want to roll up on during a dark night — a sinkhole in the middle or the road, marked by deadfall.Apparently, a citizen stuck in the sticks, either as commentary, warning, or both. (No, it wasn't me.) This is on Morseville Road, just north of Courtney Road, in southern Saginaw County. This gnarly piece of pavement connects some of the best (only?) curves between Flushing and Frankenmuth. Typically, you have to take it easy through here, sometimes standing on your pegs. The water has been right up to the shoulders in this swale, so a washout is understandable. But the sticks are pointed reminders that road conditions, especially in the spring, can go quickly from bad to worse. Especially for motorcyclists. So, as the grizzled roll call sergeant Phil Esterhaus on Hill Street Blues used to say: "Let's be careful out there." |
