View looking north as the old
road heads into a heavily wooded area.
Same location as the above photo

I'm not sure what this big cement

Another shot showing the granite

Shot looking north as we enter
a very wet, wooded area.
A bit further north of the previous

Same place as the above photo,

A little further north.
This area of the old highway
has been completely asphalted over with multiple layers.
Close-up showing this thich
asphalt covering in this area that is about 50 ft. long.
Another shot facing south of
this thick asphalt. My guess is that the poor drainage in the area here
may have been why this was done.
A little further to the north.
View facing north showing exposed cement and asphalt patching.
Same location as the above photo,
