Making Roads


Moses Cone, a textile magnate, had a hobby of making roads. Last weekend we enjoyed a walk on a beautiful road he made around a lake, down in a valley below his mountain top home. Horses used the path with us, and they say he made it for horse drawn carriages, "back in the day." As soon as we started out walking I felt such a peacefulness. No one around me was hurrying; all were enjoying the quiet beauty of the surroundings. It was a walk I won't forget and hopefully will do again.

  18. Interstates are handy but the narrow, tree lined lanes are the best-for driving and, at times, walking. Faced with no time constraints, I so much prefer the "blue" highways.

    Best,
