摘要

"Who built this road and why?" part gratitude, part wonder, part escalating joy, the question is one I've encountered at rest stops on the best rides of my life. Someone pulls off his helmet, catches his breath and gives vent to pure curiosity-you know, the kind captured in the phrase, "Who was that masked man, anyway?" I first encountered this respect for the unknown maker of roads at a dinner in Monterey, California. My late friend Slick Lawson was rhapsodizing about his favorite ride back in Tennessee. "The Natchez Trace," he said with the appropriate Southern drawl, "was designed by an old-time surveyor with octagonal glasses and lace-up boots, a man who used a brass transit to create the perfect ride, a melody of concrete with no off-camber turns." Slick talked like that, but I accepted his invitation to come to Nashville and see for myself.
