under the paved portion, and
the sudden thaw caused them
to break up, making travel

not all the pavement is broken

One long-time resident ob
served, "How can you expect
the roads to withstand today's
traffic when they were built 40
years ago with the Model T in
mind''"
Base Line Road undergoes
repair almost every year,
when weather permits. Most
repair work cannot be com
pleted until the early part of
summer. In the meantime, the
most hazardous holes are
filled with rock and sand to
permit traffic, but the real
repair work is seldom com
pleted before harvest time.
