Last summer, I was riding in the car with my dad who was driving. We were going to pick up my mother from work and we took the back road instead of the usual highway. This back road was beautiful with an abundance of trees, however, when we got to this one spot there was a bobcat with other machinery and lots of torn down trees, completely uprooted to make a road as a short cut. I couldn't believe it.
