Today, one reader used our feedback button to object to Tyler Simpson's description last night of the drive to Hempfest as "long and treacherous."

We've decided to publish her letter in its entirety, and to illustrate it with a completely unrelated photo gallery showing vehicles on their way to and from the event today, together with other curious stuff we saw at the soggiest Hempfest ever.

Here, meanwhile, is the very-helpful correction we received today from our reader:

******************** My comments are concerning your description of the road to the Hempfest.

Just because your journalist is a city-slicker and does not know how to drive on country roads is no reason to denegrate our roads in such a way.

This journalist would have travelled on a paved road from Sault Ste. Marie to Ophir corner.

This is a very good road in comparison to the roads that we lived with 40 years ago.

We are so thankful for such good roads.

Your journalist would then have turned north onto the Poplar Dale Road.

This road is a well maintained gravel road.

It may have been a little bumpy because of the excessive weekend traffic, but it is still a very good and well maintained road.

Your comments are not appreciated.

We are so lucky to have such good roads.
