That in their area, there were a few to many holes in the road ways, and they were poking fun at the road crews who were not keeping their job done. I think the same road crews now take care of Boise's roads. :-) Susan Boise, Idaho, USA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane Glaser" <jglaser@surewest.net> To: <NORCAL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 14, 2004 7:50 PM Subject: Re: October 1923 Holes in roadway > Makes a little more sense!! > Thanks > Jane > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <corajanee@shasta.com> > To: <NORCAL-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Saturday, August 14, 2004 6:48 PM > Subject: Re: October 1923 Holes in roadway > > > > I'm betting on a typo and it should ber "poles" > > > > >----- Original Message ----- > > >From: "OurFamily" <ourfamily@rh2o.com> > > >To: <NORCAL-L@rootsweb.com> > > >Sent: Saturday, August 14, 2004 3:24 PM > > >Subject: Re: October 1923 Holes in roadway > > > > > > > > >> Just wondering... > > >> > > >> When our ancestors were crossing the plains, did they have a road crew out > > >> front filling in the holes? > > >> > > >> If so, sure hope it wasn't "CalTrans". > > >> > > >> Billie > > >> > > >> ----- Original Message ----- > > >> From: <Ktsc100@aol.com> > > >> To: <NORCAL-L@rootsweb.com> > > >> Sent: Saturday, August 14, 2004 2:59 PM > > >> Subject: Re: October 1923 Holes in roadway > > >> > > >> > > >> In a message dated 8/13/04 9:39:38 AM Pacific Daylight Time, > > >> cicbuca@juno.com > > >> writes: > > >> > > >> > SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD รข?"
