"Dave, \n  \nIn 2007 while exploring this road I met a woman who lived on it. She remembered a neighbor who had passed a few years before who was on the crew that built this road. Wonder if he's in these photos? Anyway, I'm 90% sure she said 1923, though 10% of me says she said 1917. At any rate, memories are faulty and this is third hand info. \n  \nMy 1916 ABB says the road is dirt but for occasional concrete stretches. My 1924 ABB says \"pavement practically all the way.\"  My Mohawk-Hobbs guides are all from 1924 or after and are no additional help.  I wish I had a 1918 and a 1920-21 ABB.   \n  \nThis site is about 2 hours away, so something I'd have to plan. \n  \n-Jim \n  \nps. On second look at the photo of the road with my buddy in it, look at the dark debris around the bricks. Tar remnants? \n"
