The High and Low Road

When I was growing up until maybe junior

high or for sure high school we had no

street names. Though we didn't move

at all we had post office addresses 

and the mail was delivered outside our

house. So the box number changed at

least twice.

So during that time we lived less than a 

mile from the local park that had a

creek as well. I could tell.you many stories 

when I went to that park.

Anyway there was a road above the park

my brothers and I called the high road.

It  was the way we walked to the park

most of the time. Our house would be 

going south when returning home.

There was a road next to the park. The

park was where the road ended.  We

would go that way on our return home

and the road would curve to the left

and go up the hill to meet the high road.

This road we called the low road. I am

sure you figured that out already. If

we went straight instead take the curve

for a short ways than turn right there

would be the boat launch. Often we

see cars with their boats behind them.

Like the metaphor the low road was 

easier to walk than the high road.

Also not as much traffic either. Most

driver's go up to the high road. Many

lived to the left and some to the right.

Returning home driving my parents 

would take the low road since easier 

and not as heavy traffic though not 

as busy as today. When I got my

license I did the same and when I visit

I do the same. It is nice to have two

different routes.

Like the medafor the question is will

we take the load road which is easy

or the high road where there is more

success.  Dealing with people though

the low road maybe the better route.

All comes down to what conclusion 

you want.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
