Today's post is a continuation of\n“<\/span>SUPER FUN!! Cycling in Supertyphoon Jebi<\/a>”<\/span>\nand its followup,\n“<\/span>Surveying Supertyphoon Jebi\u2019s Damage North of Kyoto, Part 1<\/a>”<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n

At the end of the previous post, we'd come across a fallen<\/span> utility pole, as we had a few<\/span> times earlier....<\/p>\n\n

The photo above is looking back toward where we'd come from, and in it there's a farmer<\/span> leaning against a truck<\/span> in front of his house. He'd told me<\/span> that the road was not passable even by foot, but I'd dismissed it as an exaggeration. I shouldn't<\/span> have.<\/p>\n\n

This section that I had just come over was difficult, because not only was the road not visible, we were walking\non branches that were well above the guardrail, itself not visible unless your foot fell through the web of branches and\nmade a hole<\/span> to look down and see it. The only path<\/span> I could<\/span> find was right over the guardrail at the edge of the cliff, so\nif you slipped in an unlucky way, you'd slice your foot on the top of the guardrail, or tumble down into the river.<\/p>\n\n

At this point we met two workers walking from the other direction, and they helped John and Joshua with their bikes.<\/p>\n\n

They said that they had been walking for an hour, and that there were maybe six or seven more almost-impassable sections like the one\nwe were on. It turns<\/span> out that this was wildly underestimated.<\/p>\n\n

I'm guessing that the cut trees in the photo above are part of the\nmassive damage from last year's Typhoon #21<\/a>. The fallen<\/span> utility pole and\nthe slight landslide are from this year.<\/p>\n\n

They had found a long, low tunnel through the debris on the inside edge of the road, and so we dragged our bikes through it.<\/p>\n\n

If that was their truck, the road was open from here on into the city. It had taken<\/span> an hour and a half<\/span> to travel about 4km (2.5mi),\na stretch<\/span> of road that normally takes just a few<\/span> (~6 or 7) minutes.<\/p>\n\n

We're lucky that there were no real landslides, as they can often take out a huge<\/span> chunk of road, leaving absolutely no way to pass\n(such as seen here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n

As it was we were lucky and could make it through. I was covered<\/span> in scratched and bathed in sweat, and had lost the auto-retracting lens cap for my camera, a cleat<\/span> cover, and ended up trashing my cleats.\nFirst world problems.<\/p>\n\n

I imagine it'll be a long time before the road will be open.<\/p>\n\n

On the way home, I swung by the Heian Shrine to see what had become of the tree that had fallen across the road the previous afternoon....<\/p>\n\n

Today's post is a continuation of \"SUPER FUN!! Cycling in Supertyphoon Jebi\" and its followup, \"Surveying Supertyphoon Jebi\u2019s Damage North of Kyoto, Part 1\".<\/p>

At the end of the previous post, we'd come across a fallen utility pole, as we had a few times earlier....<\/p>

The photo above is looking back toward where we'd come from, and in it there's a farmer leaning against a truck in front of his house. He'd told me that the road was not passable even by foot, but I'd dismissed it as an exaggeration. I shouldn't have.<\/p>
