Description

An old road, shady memories come flooding back. Once we walked here, hand in hand. We will again.

This old road is actually the old highway that connected Wisconsin to Minnesota. When they built the new interstate bridge, this road was closed. now you can only go so far on it and the bridge is kept open as it is a protected historical landmark. I like to go here and just sit. My dad when he was a boy would walk to school on this road. He would walk from Bluff Siding, Wisconsin, into Winona, Minnesota, where he attended St. Stanilaus' school. He was only able to complete the 8th grade when he had to drop out. He was needed at home to work the farm and get a job to support his mom and little sister. Despite his lack of education, he became a self made man. But here I can sit and imagine him as a boy.
