Returning home a little after 3:00 one afternoon between Christmas and New Years, Laurin Paul turned onto Route 57 across the bridge and past the New Boston Inn, nearing the New Boston Church. Four cars were stopped ahead of her and more coming the other way. Finally, she saw why. Five confused looking ducks were in the middle of the road, trying to figure out which way to go. Laurin wrote: "Smiling when I saw what was going on, I marveled at how patient and sweet the scene was while the ducks finally meandered to the south side and we all continued on our way."
