Yellow Brick Road
From Oz Wiki
The Yellow Brick Road is a famous road made entirely of yellow bricks, which connects the various sections of the Land of Oz to the Emerald City in the center. Following any stretch of the yellow brick road is a hazardous journey, as there are many obstacles as well as hostile creatures such as Kalidahs roaming its lengths.
Dorothy Gale and her companions followed this road on their first adventure. In the Munchkin Forest it was broken by two deep crevices, and nearer the Emerald City a river cuts through it. (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz).
Tip and Jack Pumpkinhead followed another branch of this road as they rode the Sawhorse from the Gillikin Country to the Emerald City. (The Marvelous Land of Oz)

Background
In L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel it was originally referred to as the "road of yellow bricks", but became better known as the "Yellow Brick Road" in the 1939 film.
In the VeggieTales 2007 episode "The Wonderful Wizard of Ha's", Darby (Junior Asparagus) and his pet dog "Tutu" are told by Splenda the Sweet but non-fattening fairy (Madame Blueberry) and the Munchies (The French Peas) to follow the old Yellow McToad.
