I am glad they worked on restoring this as opposed to leaving an asphalt ribbon on the landscape.

True chili, but unused roads disappear pretty quickly. There are some fairly major roads that used to go through the Sipsey that are all but swallowed up now. The forest will reclaim what was its own.

It never hurts to speed up the process though. I can think of several places where the "old road" is still fairly visible after a number of years.

Maybe they could use some of this stuff to speed things up.

Scroll down to the "Drugs, Bugs, and Beyond" paragraph at the bottom.
