Road 203 at Hwy 12

So, seemingly just to render all my recent (and exquisitely satisfying) musings banal, by the time I hit Hwy 12 at Km 1195, things looked a whole lot more agricultural again. Less piney.

If these people were farmers did they live in the woods by choice (like hippies)? Did the trees grow up around them, naturally, slowly, over time? (Again, i'm thinking hippies). Did everyone but the loggers just leave until someone could afford to make this land useful as as a tertiary or recreation industry? Am I crazy in thinking that sandilands is just too damn sandy for pioneer farmers? Maybe. Hell, probably. There I go a-musing again.

Hippies.

Anyway:
I decided to keep on going south to see South Junction.

Also speaking of cell phones, about this time At&t sent me a personalized message offering a roaming package whereupon I shut all my cell radios off... . SMS still seemed to get thru with 3G and Edge shut off. I don't know how the clever bastards were doing it, but if I get charged there are going to be some sweet sweet contracts arguments over pennies at small claims court real soon. Hmm. And jurisdiction too. Wow. Bastards.

Mts's new network kind of sucks at the boundaries.
