Walking along NY 421

Almost nicer to walk then drive or ride with the surface so rough and deep woods. Indeed I saw a black bear and two cubs up in the woods.

Rough road

At this point if the NYS DOT doesn't want to maintain the asphalt I feel like they should just mill it down and let it revert to a dirt road. The lightly traveled road to the Bog River Flow and Horseshoe Lake is always damaged by the frost every year but barely repaired.
