These pictures of the 1919 Good Roads Day add to the panoramic picture that we have. In the top picture, it looks like the women worked right alongside the men - then they put on the big dinner at the church house. In the bottom picture, you can see Grandpa Wasden with the team of horses. I don't suppose that the roads were all that wonderful when they were all finished? But, it was a great community effort for the little village of Penrose, Wyoming

Nothing was easy, was it? How would you like to try that kind of work in a dress? But I do admire the community spirit.
I wonder if we all had to work together like the Penrose neighbors did, just for mere survival, if we would be just a little more caring about each other. I live in a great place, but have little to no connection with people who live just across the street. I think there is something to be said for having to work hard/together - just to make everything work. But - no thanks to the dress code!
