The next obstacle of the day came about 4 pm when we had no choice but to park in a little town over night. Turns out the town is going to be flooded in two years when they complete the dam and the new "highway". Meanwhile, while they are working, huge rocks keep rolling down the hill onto the old road so the cars can't get through except between 12 and 3. Since we showed up just after the closure we spent the night in the car and enjoyed the hospitality of some nice people who made some Chinese food for us. We shared our pumpkin muffins with them.
