Here to there and back

There was a dot on the map. The dot had a name. There was a line from the dot to where I was. A squiggly line that meant it went up into the mountains. A thin line that meant it was unpaved. But how bad could the road be since it led to a place with a name? And how high into the mountains? And was there anything at the dot (or along the way) worth the trip? I went to find out.
