The road does have a street sign, and they plow and sand us, so why not? <br />Ours is at the end of a small hill and then suddenly you could plunge into woods.Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366449267039641100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-84330584505264973022016-02-05T09:58:02.322-08:002016-02-05T09:58:02.322-08:00I live on a dead end street, too.

It has "not a through street" at the top, but that doesn't deter most of the people who think a road that goes straight downhill must be into the valley.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-19968685499992479982016-02-05T08:17:25.652-08:002016-02-05T08:17:25.652-08:00Ah, well.
