I gather there wasn't any barrier on the crossing, wasn't it?

Crossings are such dangerous places. They should all be secured with either gates or tunnels.

After crossing the railroad Savoree Road (which is gravel) scarcely goes another half-kilometer before it ends at my river farm after crossing a culvert over a ditch. If you want to see it in Google Earth it is at:

38°46'37.63"N, 87°28'32.25"W

There are only three landowners after the crossing. Althoffs own the land between the bridge and the ditch on either side of the road except for the south where a wedge of land is mine tucked up under the ditch. It's Hendrickson Farms north of the extension of the road to the levee/river (road extension is my private road) and the rest is mine.

So it's not a heavily travelled road, unless you count the people who are trespassing to fish, hunt, or find an out-of-the-way place to make meth (a la Breaking Bad). It's just a farm road that gets very little traffic. There was more traffic back in the 50s and 60s when my dad sold fishing permits for $20/year to Mariah (aka Maria) Pond.
