With some work I got the wheel straightened out well enough to ride on but I spent the night in a hotel room tearing down and truing my front wheel so I could make it ride-able the rest of the way. For some reason I don't remember it being that scenic

Major bummer on slipping on the wet boards. I walked my bike thru the tunnel and by the time I got to the end, the batteries in my flashlight were almost dead. I had accidentally left it on earlier. Maybe that is why I thought it looked so nice, I was really happy to get thru before the batteries completely died.
