Hello Friends of the Road, I hope none of you have been cheating on our road with another road. I know the Bayley Hazen Road has its appeal, but the CPR is older, much older! It has many more stories to tell. Hopefully some day through archeology, we’ll learn more of those stories. I’m getting…

Hello Friends of the Road, Is everyone enjoying the first few days of Summer? There’s been days where the smoke was so thick, we could imagine ourselves on a battlefield, just without the booms of the canon and pops of the muskets. The corn is not knee high, but it will probably be fine. It…
