 Left - South of Fenella, Hwy 45 traverses the Great Pine Ridge. These densely-forested highlands can be seen in the background of this photo, providing for some great scenery along this interesting highway. Most of the highway was realigned across the highlands in the 1950s, resulting in numerous bypassed alignments.
