Write a detailed description of a foreboding scene outside a road in a gorge with a cairn and white stones.

Shrubs and weeds vie with lacy ferns for space along the twisting, deeply rutted road's edge. Someone has tried to patch the worst of the holes with loose stones and leaves, but the repairs are impermanent and already failing. Slabs of white stones are piled into a cairn at the edge of the road.
