Trucks use River

We already know that GroveAtopia is a little bit magic what with talk of fairies who occasionally appear to help us out when our story needs some help moving forward.

Apparently they are at work again, but this time they've communicated with us directly.  They've left us a sign in a very busy spot over by the Woodson Bridge.  They've told trucks to swim.  Or float.  No roads for them, because, as the sign says, "Trucks Use River."

Now some may wonder if this is a description of something that's already happening - just letting everyone know:  Trucks Use River, so be careful.  In that case the next sign might say "Cars Use Road." And the next could say, "Bicycles Use Sky" or "Pedestrians Use Trees."  But now we are just being silly.

Maybe the sign is a command. "Hey Trucks!  Use River!"  In that case the next sign would say "Not Road!" because most trucks would assume they could use the road.  But not here.  Not in this place were trucks use the River because the fairies told them to.
