[Today’s run: 4.8 miles]
Today we ran to Schaffers Chapel on Schaffers Chapel Road.
I think Schafers Chapel Road is just Robinson Road with a different label. But I could be wrong.
Roads in Mississippi are different than in the midwest or west. Out there you get names like “County Road 57”. Here a road will be “Bob Smith Road”, because it goes to Bob Smith’s house I expect. Or maybe it goes to where Bob Smith used to live in 1885 before his house burnt down and he left for the Alaska Gold Rush.
You’ll have the same road, from town A to town B. In town A it will be called “B road” in B it will be called “A road”.
Robinson Road is an old road that goes NE/SW. There are pieces and bits of it all over the place. There is a bit over south of Starkville. And a bit more in Louisville. I think it kind of gets lost in highway 25 for awhile, then shows up near Natchez Trace at Hwy 16. There is a chunk in Canton. After that I’m not sure.
They are doing some construction on Hwy 45 near the intersection of Robinson Road / Shaffers Chapel Road. It looks like they are going to bypass a couple of old bridges and completely remove a section of the old road. I hope they leave it in, if only so I can jog on it instead of on the highway.
