Here is how things get distorted and the story becomes more and more inaccurate. The barricades were up 2 days, not 3 and were not up 24 hours per day. The road was clear during the night of the first day and did not go back up until about 8 the next day and were removed in the evening of the second day. There is no confirmed report of people being charged to pass or of cars being pelted with rocks. Just hearsay reports. I passed several times both days with no problem. The entrance to Orient Bay was blocked for one day. The second day the road was only blocked in French Quarter but it was easy to bypass through Spring which I did with no problem. I'm not trying to down play the problems it caused but just trying to keep things factual and not let hearsay and rumors flying.
