Before the divided highway was built in the 60's, my Exurb was an actual town,
and the people who lived there traveled on slender two-lane highways to get to
other nearby river towns for commerce and community. Now, those roads are
secondary, and even many locals bypass them for the faster freeway.
I decided to take the back road on an errand yesterday afternoon. A thunderstorm
moved through on the way there, but it had cleared and was off in the distance
on the way back. I was able to stop a few places, and the 15 took in what it
could in the fading light.
