Full Circle Farm is located at the intersection of two roads. The road at the south end of the farm is a nicely paved road. The road at the east side of the farm is a dusty gravel road. The gravel road leads north to another gravel road. The residents of that road have been trying for some time to get their road paved. Due to the recent closure of a nearby highway, the traffic along all of our roads has increased quite a bit. Now they are trying even harder to get the road paved as the dust has increased substantially. I’m not sure that is the best idea.
Our paved road has people driving too fast, recreational bicyclists yelling in conversation at each other in the early hours of the morning, and a markedly higher traffic rate. The gravel road is less traveled. While some still drive too fast, if they are using the road, you know they belong in the neighborhood. Gravel roads also give a certain ambiance to the farm and deter the development that will eventually come to the area. Like Robert Frost, I’d rather take the road less traveled and keep my gravel road.
