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, I’m writing on the eve of what is expected to be our first significant snowstorm for the season. For those who have moved south and have forgotten, YES, we do get snow this early and often even earlier. Daylight Savings Time has now ended here, and Thanksgiving is right around…
