Based on James Baughn's description of the original Bloomfield Road in Cape, Bollinger,and Stoddard Counties I decided to take this trail one Sunday afternoon. This is the first in a series of photos I took on this journey. A big thanks to James Baughn for publishing the original map of this historic road.
This photo was taken at the intersection of hwy N and Cape County road 251 close to Allenville.
