With the “miles and miles” of dirt roads in the county, “we have some problems which are almost unique,” Dr. Gangel said. “There are not many counties which have any perspective of what we have to do.” Some bus routes, like those in Harris, Gid Brown and Old Hollows, are almost completely on secondary dirt roads.
