I can lose myself in long day dreams about the fellows who first forged the roads through here and how damnably tough it must have been."

I often have the same thoughts about the pioneers who settled this country. How did they get a wagon with all their possessions over this mountain, through this forest, across this river. How difficult their lives must have been, and how easy we have it now. Need food? There's a restaurant, need shelter, there's a motel up ahead, need to cover 500 miles? Instead of 3 months we can do that in one day if we want to push a little bit. Big river to cross, just use the bridge.

Very cool pics and report. Love the captures in the mirrors.

Well said ferret. Something we, or some of us at least, forget in our mostly urban society.

Good stuff Cormanus.

Cheers
