Have a good weekend

Placer Road in Igo is now open. The previously closed Platina/Placer Road intersection is also open, as is the previously closed Lower Gas Point Road.

Mr. Moon,
Thank you for your show tonight,
As I say goodbye to winter.
Your exit for this evening was
Spent in wondrous splendor.
Your evening show was awesome;
Your glow was brilliant and true.
But now it is time to move
Into the springtime hues.
Goodbye…
