The awful condition of the roads every winter becomes a prominent topic. The present system of keeping the roads in order does not commend itself to us.
Good roads are a great blessing.
Roads connected us, just as they do today. They led people to work, friends, shopping and churches. The Potomac Path linked Washington to this area for hundreds of years and was usually impassable due to sticky mud. But modern road improvements changed all of that. We can know a road like the back of my hand.
