That's become my new route to the Arb/Vilas area ever since that light went in. I personally don't see any need for yet another light between there and Fish Hatch. But now that it's been mentioned, doesn't this mean that any Bike Route signs that direct folks onto Haywood are out of date? Shouldn't they be relocated/reconfigured to make the route John describes the "Bike Route"? --------------------- Paul T.
