There are 3 types of roads here in NW Wisconsin, 2020. The individual roads in each type pretty much look the same. And pretty much always open, so nice up here.

Even have a coffee house in Cable, population 400-ish, for cycling folks. Better than where I live with a population of 40,000-ish. All I get there is "get off the f***ing road".
