TT 15 Bridges

Question 1

Janice is worried about bridges.

Answer 1

The roads they’ll do fine, if it’s like here in BC anyways. They’re taking the Land Rovers to scout ahead, if the road looks too bad one way the Winnebagos can go another route, cars with trailers.

Question 2

But Janice keeps talking about bridges,

Answer 2

what if they can’t get across a river somewhere,
all the bridges are down, or they don’t look safe.
ESPECIALLY THE COLUMBIA, you know that one that cuts across northern Oregon,

Question 3

ESPECIALLY THE COLUMBIA,

Answer 3

you know that one that cuts across northern Oregon, for some reason she’s got it in her mind they’ll get that far and never be able to cross the Columbia River. And it’s not like you can just go around. You can’t just go around the Columbia.

Question 4

You can’t just go around the Columbia.

Answer 4

Scott says if worse comes to worst they can always find a boat, get across that way.
He thinks maybe he should go along, just in case.
Scott does?
You sure you don’t want to go, Ron? You could set up another station when we get to L.A.

Question 5

Scott does?

Answer 5

You sure you don’t want to go, Ron?
You could set up another station when we get to L.A.
Maybe. Maybe not. We don’t know what makes this one run, what’s to say it’s going to work someplace else?

Question 6

what’s to say it’s going to work someplace else?

Answer 6

I know. It’s just… There’s people down there, Ron. Maybe lots of people. People to listen to your show, people to… I don’t know. People.

Question 7

I don’t know. People.

Answer 7

Just the Freshmen for a minute. She’s trying to talk him into it again, into going.
He thought all that was settled. He would stay behind, keep the station on the air, so would Karen. And Rob, the little kid she looks out for.
And Scott, the guy who showed up back in the fall from the Gulf Islands in that boat of his. The four of them.
And now, a few hours before the rest of them leave, she’s talking again about giving up the station.
