Of the 20 favorite quail spot from my youth 18 have either houses or trailers. No loss, since quail do not live there or anywhere else these days. My best marsh in my teens is now owned by the State and holds about half the ducks of a modest size zoo. There are things which are better. Deer are a pestilence and turkeys which were never seen now are more common than turkey buzzards. Also state game wardens are more plentiful than coveys of quail, just not as much use.
As to the roads in my travels I have to say that Maryland and Ohio seem to have the most consistent, well maintained road. PA does seem to have some of the saddest roads I travel. Worn out and no sign of any ability to fix them.
