    They didn't even build the highway through here until the 80's. Ever try to build a road through mountains of solid granite I worked on a road crew for a few years and let me tell you it is slow going we hit granite ledge every 100 ft or so and had to blow it up with dynamite.



    I would also say way more people, Cincinnati probably has more people than our entire state lol.
    Also wayyy more land for sure.
    nhdot will not go into the woods which run along almost all our roads and where the majority of the trash ends up. from the edge of the woods 10-15 ft in will produce a lot of garbage and scrap metal.
    But that should mean greater amounts of scrapable material on the side of the road, and a little ways into the woods for me, along with stuff like Brasscatcher's partner was finding there are definitely treasures on the side of the road.

    Edit Talked with the town road agent this morning all the culverts are mine i would guess around 200+ lbs a piece so on my first cleanup i'm looking at 1500 lbs of shred guaranteed! Doing good is doing good for me
