The autos are causing a problem, but drop off in background beyond trees (no 
steel mill nor housing) would work for High Bridge Loop.

Back to that fantrip:  Wasn't routing 8/10/15 and then 13??  Only two ways 
to do that:  to wye in Bellvue, or to back up around the High Bridge loop.

On related question, I wonder what the pull-out routing was for rt. 13 from 
Keating??  Did all cars have to go to northside???  Was 13 a Manchester 
route at one time?????
