The rutted trail you travel runs up the bank of an ancient causeway. Two thick posts jut from atop the steep incline on either side of your path, each engraved with deep marks from decades of travelers wrapping ropes around the posts to haul wagons up the embankment. Cresting the hill, you see another set of rope-worn posts framing the path as it descends again into boggy terrain.
