Figured you lived off a cow trail.

Gotta get away from the crackheads somehow. Its actually a main road. Around here, for the most part, only state roads get blacktop.

Happens everywhere. Did the same thing to our road last week. My pickup is speckled like a trout. On top of that, it is a waste of money. The road was already broken up so badly that the coating accomplished nothing. GD

Recently went to a family picnic out in the sticks. At first one of my uncles didn't know what to think about my ECD carry posture with includes a double stack .45 with one in the tube.....then he remembered where I live.

The closer you cram people together, the more insane they get it seems.

Chip seal is actually a good way to cover the road to reduce maintenance. It’s used with success all the time. It sounds like your town tried to skimp on some stone.

They’ll do that on some of our roads here sometimes. You hope you don’t meet someone going the other way...almost guarantees a rock peck on the windshield.🤬

Yes, sounds like the stone was spread too thin.

They do that here too - 30% of the (formerly) paved roads get the 'tar/rock' treatment.. Makes finding the other normal roads a challenge on the bikes..

Yeah, until the first couple of snowflakes come outta the sky and the fleet of salt/plow trucks fan out across the county at break-neck speed and plow off all the rock way before any real accumulation occurs.

That. Maybe they need to top-dress the existing mess - maybe that'll end the nightmare.

Free undercoating! (seriously)

The tar washes off the paint with kerosene on a rag.
