Well, here's mine: I want a road built up the "Y" mountain, through Slide Canyon, Can-yon, into the head of Rock Canyon and a spur from it over to Maple Flat. You see, I'm too old to really1 geit out and toil my way up to Maple Flat any more. But I can remember the exhilaration of the view from up there. And it is so coolup there when the val-leyis val-leyis burned to a fine, powdery powd-ery dust. "- From the valley ery" Mountain looks steep, but when we were kids, we used to try to roll rocks lip there, and I remember that they would not roll. I have been surveying the possibilities out of my breakfast room window, win-dow, and I am convinced the project would not only be quite easily feasible, but that it would not be startlingly expensive. Imagine being able to drive up through Provo's lovely new residential area, no matter mat-ter how hot the day, and take off up the mountain, up, up, up out of the heat and dust and smoke into the clear fresh blue of the sky or to be abje to drive up a dry, safe road almost any winter's day to a view of snow-clad alpine grandeur unsurpassed in America, or the world. We could have this if we wished it enough. Of course,, people would take pictures. Even if it was a" toll road, I would go as often as I could to feel how it is to sit on top of the world. I might even take a few pictures myself. Tourists like our little valley. val-ley. They think the air and the mountains are wonderful. But how much more wonderful wonder-ful if they could have the air and the mountains together, in this magnificent combination combina-tion with the world drowsing drow-sing a mile below them.
