Blanket protection

摘要

Visitors to the Beartooth Highway should have been in boats, not cars. The scenic highway winding through the Montana and Wyoming mountains was impassable in early 2005, thanks to heavy rains that caused landslides and road washouts in several places. The powerful runoff that flowed down the mountainsides crossed the highway more than a dozen times and displaced nearly 100,000 cubic yards of soil and rock, rendering the road dangerous for travel.
