Road Too Narrow to Pass in Okinawa

The Statistical Advisory Group traveled north of Naha, Okinawa, Japan. Mr. Rice quotes: "A road such as I have not travelled over. Coming down through a cut, around a curve, singularly like a spot on the road from Petroplis, we met a truck coming up. The only way for the truck, when we'd given all the ground we could, was blocked by a telephone pole. The wire had been removed (to go over the top, I guess) so the two or three Okinawan truck drivers and helpers, cheered on by the girls in the back, set to work and pulled and dug up the pole. But the worst for us was when we mired in deep mud, with all hands collecting brush and the drivers working the jack we managed - both ways, the worst being coming back."
