I'd like to see opinions on whether the repair effort could be duplicated today, or if, given newer technology, it would even be necessary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_AWAmGi-g8 Bill Horne

The congested rush of the city is replaced by Myakka River State Park, followed by pastoral farmland. It's a green and tranquil ride, aside from a couple sections of rough road. https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/local/2021/02/26/meet-man-who-has-pushed-better-broadband-desoto-county-over-decade/4574390001/
