It runs near Duluth, Minnesota &#8211; Superior, Wisconsin, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Minnesota_State_Highway_23#Segment_in_Wisconsin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as confirmed by Wikipedia<\/a>. I wish I\u2019d known that a couple of years ago <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=21932\">when I visited Duluth<\/a>. Certainly I would have driven through there for the sheer joy of it. Oh well, that\u2019s another item to add to the &#8220;wish list&#8221; that I\u2019ll never be able to complete in any given lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Uh Oh!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The segment through Wisconsin stretches only a half-mile or so, making it perfect for viewing remotely in Google Street View. You know how much I love traveling roads vicariously if you&#8217;ve been reading this blog for awhile. So, naturally I decided to give it a try this evening. Then I stumbled across a distressing site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/QxmSNUWzDiPzqN479\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/deer_roadkill_carcass.jpg\" alt=\"Road Kill. Screen grab from Google Street View; September 2008\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m displaying this as a screen print rather than an image pulled dynamically from Google Street View. That\u2019s because it will change the next time Google sends a camera through the area to update its imagery. I\u2019ll be left stranded just like when <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=546\">I wrote about the last phone booth<\/a> that\u2019s now a concrete pad. Readers from the distant future will wonder if I have some type of mental impairment. If you absolutely must see the current imagery then go ahead and <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/ghTdBbnSJdvnAGCL6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the record, I don\u2019t think the deer cared much that it passed away within a geo-oddity. Poor thing. Still, if a creature has to meet its maker unexpectedly, it might as well occur somewhere interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That got me thinking, though. When something happens along a detached stretch like this, who deals with the consequences? What constitutes &#8220;maintenance&#8221; exactly? The local wildlife will take care of this particular situation in due time. However, what about traffic violations or accidents or anything other than keeping the road paved and passable?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a bit macabre.
