Music History:
The Police released ‘Roxanne’ as the first single from their debut album Outlandos d’Amour. The song was written from the point of view of a man who falls in love with a prostitute. The title came from the name of the character in the play Cyrano de Bergerac, which Sting saw on an old poster which was hanging in a hotel foyer in Paris, where the group had been staying.
It wasn’t long before I figured out why some of the maps showed the road going through and some of the maps show it ending, so I turned around and went back the same way I had come in.
I decided to head through O’Neals Meadow on the way back, taking a left at 6S62, then a right on I soon reached an area that I thought was probably the old road that went into the upper part of O’Neals Meadow. There was no sign on the road but I believe at one time it went through and the other end has a sign with 5S63A. There are so many big, down trees on this road on the north side of O’Neals Meadow, I would say that section is pretty much blocked. But I did it last year and where there is a will there is a way on foot.
