Is this what the old "Corduroy Rd." running from L. Bluff Rd. to Garner used to kind of be like?
Or were those rounded logs running lengthwise?
As I understand it, corduroy roads were built over wet (swampy) areas with logs lying next to each other which produced the effect of riding in your carriage or wagon over a corduroy-like surface.
In other words, the logs were lying crosswise to the direction of the road.
Ah ok, I was picturing a corduroy pant-leg so thought the the logs would've been running lengthwise.
There are miniature corduroy roads in the Adirondacks, then. Hikers will place branches down in wet & muddy areas of the path to provide a stable walking surface.
