This beautiful little dirt backroad in rural Christian County, KY, no longer exists. It has been widened and paved, and now it's a typical county blacktop road.
I'm not against progress, but I do now avoid this road. I'm sure it's better for the farmers who need to move wide machinery or bring in big trucks, but I remember and miss the pleasant, picturesque country backroad it used to be.
How very sad. I love the country back roads....they are getting harder to find now a days.
ReplyDeleteNot long after we moved to Kentucky, my parents came to visit. I drove them down this road as part of a tour of the neighborhood. They thought it was an interesting look at the Kentucky countryside, as they were used to the wide open landscapes of the Great Plains. (Both of them were originally from northern Nebraska and moved to southwest Kansas late in life.)
