With the floods caused by recent rains, the gorge became immpassable. So we had to drive either up to Sligoville or bob and weave on what is said to be an alternate route through Barrie.
The road at various places is cut by ruts slicing the road in twos, threes and fours.
Drivers are forced to navigate with extreme caution or else the vehicle could tip over or slide over and into ravines and pretcipisses to the side of the road.
The Rio Cobre is Milo brown as she churns down pass the flat bridge. During the rains, she swells and sweeps down the gorge in magnificent torrents, bringing the silt and Jamaican earth from up in the watersheds of St. Catherine.
During dry droughty times, the Rio Cobre maintains her journey quietly but conspicuously down to her mouth in Hunts Bay, between Kingston and Portmore.
She is one of my favourite Jamaican rivers. A river that I have known from boyhood when tranversing from St Ann to Kingston with Daddy far back away.
