What Original Roads Looked Like In Pioneer Days; Just Ruts in the Deep Grass.
"All right, tonight we’ll camp out." We had talked about it before. .. So we move down the empty road. I don’t want to own these prairies, or photograph them, or change them, or even stop or even keep going. We are just moving down the empty road.“
15Mi East of Hague, ND. West View. shows what first original roads must have looked like in pioneer days. Click photo to get largest view and look closely to see the "rut in the grass" leading to the horizon. Rt-11 doesn't here continue straight (West ) and thus follow this pioneer trail over the crest and exactly connect straight ahead with Rt11 (continued straight West ) to Hague, ND. For some strange reason Rt11 here jogs to the next "Section Line" 2 miles South. Where-upon it follows that Section Line, westward for some four miles, only to jog 2 miles back to the North and there-upon turn back West. If you don't believe me, look at your map just North of Zeeland, ND.
