In 1934 State Highway 31, SwanValley to Victor, was built. Highway 26, SwanValley to Irwin, was built in 1937 . Before then there were 2 roads up the valley. One was along the river & went by the foot bridge & the Joe Jones Ferry to Palisades. This road was later blocked by a law suit.
The second road was on the east side by the foothills & is still in use today -- Irwin North & Old Irwin Roads. These roads were the "Race Tracks" and kids riding horses to school would race both ways. Larry Fleming says "he won some & lost some. Mostly riding behind my brother Gary on Old Tommy."
