| road | ||
| The road runs in front of Opal's grandparent's house. It's real name is Mosby Creek Road.
Opal calls this place where the road goes three ways. It is the intersection of Mosby Creek Road and Layng Road. Opal's vivid imagination sees Mosby Creek road as going two different directions. One way the road goes west towards Cottage Grove. The other way the road goes is east to her school and the blue hills. Layng Road goes north and onto the upper logging camps and the Bohemia gold mines. |
