A Once or Future Civilization

On a recent walk in the desert, I found a two lane road, which seemed out of place compared to the cart tracks I usually see. The road dead ends in the desert, but at one time someone must have had plans for it. I’ve found several signs of civilization — a water main (perhaps), a sign post, realtors sign, a ruin of a house, a log that was obviously cut by a sophisticated implement, a footprint (okay, the footprint is mine, but who’s to say when exactly I placed my foot on the road — perhaps it’s a relic of the future. Or perhaps not.) Come follow the yellow sand road with me.
