along the Roads Less Traveled
_________________________________________________________________
What is at the end of an unpaved road ? What can be glimpsed between trees
____________________________________________________________
____ or behind fallen stone walls ? Being able to drive fast along paved roads is
________________________________________________________________ one of the reasons we like them . But what are we missing : Frequently the
________________________________________________________________
“ neglected ” roads , unpaved and heading nowhere in particular , lead to some
________________________________________________________________ of the more fascinating journeys found in Loudoun County . Brooks Lane in
________________________________________________________________
Lincoln village and Bolington Road outside Lovettsville are just two of them .
