The locals often repair the road by putting down wooden decking.

History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century, Píîko-qeg̈ê Fêqê was attacked by soldiers from another nation, waging a greater campaign. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Píîko-qeg̈ê Fêqê lost 236 people, 103 livestock, and 22 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 153, when members of Píîko-qeg̈ê Fêqê's militia enacted an operation to delay the operations of the enemy. The operation was complicated by a key segment of the operation that deepened entirely on a stealth mission going perfectly. The conflict ended with pitched battle between both forces, which ended in defeat for Píîko-qeg̈ê Fêqê's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Píîko-qeg̈ê Fêqê's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
