PHILADELPHIA — Some unpaved roads reveal nature’s simple engineering, like the path deer chose in a forest centuries ago. Native Americans used the deer paths to travel, and those trails widened over time for horses and buggies to become dirt roads. Pennsylvania is home to approximately 23,000 miles of unpaved public roads, and there are likely thousands of miles more on private property and in the Allegheny National Forest. They’re more than just a quaint feature of rural America, too.

Jason NarkThe Philadelphia InquirerPHILADELPHIA – Trout can get carsick. That’s why millions of rainbow, golden, brook and brown trout have been crisscrossing Pennsylvania in large trucks on empty stomachs for the last month. They’re parked outside Sheetz, Rutter’s and a few Wawas while drivers grab a coffee, use the bathroom and do a fish check. They’re at rest stops and traffic lights and, eventually, wind up in buckets carried down to creeks by volunteers in every corner of the Commonwealth.
