If you’ve tried to get past a washout or get a truck down a dirt road that looked dry at the time, we’d like to hear your cautionary tale.
Springtime driving on the Prairies can often lead to a few extra minutes in the ruts, a truck of unknown colour, or maybe a story to be laughed over the next day (well, maybe the next month, or next year) — but in a spring when deep, fast-flowing water leads to washouts or a submerged road, the end of the story can be far worse.

If this spring’s thaw and runoff have led to a close call or a story from which you believe other drivers would benefit, we’d like to see it. If you have photographs to back it up, we’d like to see them too.
