What makes a road? Down in the hills, roads take many a form.

A cow trail, winding the thin edge of a ridge.

An old, weathered blacktop, gently tracing the ways of an earlier generation.

Or a massive, four-lane highway.

All are roads.

And many have a story. From the old, old “Wilderness Road” to historic Route 66, there’s so many stories just waiting to be told.

And that’s what StateoftheOzarks is all about.
