More Brush Clearing on Historic Byram's Ford Road

In Kansas City on the Big Blue Battlefield Park, we are continuing our work to clear brush from the Historic Byram's Ford Road. The Historic Byram's Forad Road crossed present day Hardesty Avenue about 0.25 miles north of 63rd Street. This weekend, theCivilWarMuse spent about four hours and was able to clear brush from about 250 feet of the old road bed. Here are some photos theMuse took while out there. The first two photos are a before and after image taken from approximately the same spot.

At this point on the road, the two limestone outcroppings are only about 10 feet apart. I guess the wagons barely fit through this opening coing down the hill.
