 wheelnen coming from the north had to wait until the team got near sand bank and had to turn back into the road again before they could get along. and three more overlook the wagon just as it was leaving the path. One of the cyclists asked the driver if the read was not wide enough to drive on, and was greeted with the answer, Why in h-l don't you have decent road?"
