I watched a piece on the Histroy Channel about how some of the roads in this country were forged across the mountains and other tough terrain, in some cases taking as much as 5 years to get across just a few miles.They had only ox carts, man power and dynamite to move tons of earth. We are too soft today and appreciate so little the convienences we are privleged to have. I have to dig deep to cross my mountain but with all your support I know I can.Katz59noreply@blogger.com
