If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Probably let her settle in for a while then rework/repair locally and dress with Chert.

No quarries nearby... so all #57 or #21A/B has to be imported... i.e. big money hauling... and we have about 3.5 miles of road so far... cost prohibitive for anything too smooth.

LOL...

You shoulda seen the old road we just abandoned.

It was a 7.7 yard road (i.e. anything over 7.7 cubic yards of concrete in a 10 yard truck... came sloshing out the back).

Thank God our quarry is just 9 miles away. We often go down and just get a pickup load of road bond, or maybe railroad ballast, to repair our road.

I like that. Appreciate the work involved to do that.

I watch a channel on youtube called Diesel Creek. The guy has quite a few videos showing the effort to build and maintain a driveway like that.

I hear you!

Here, we can get washed rock. (small river rock avl. in just about any size)
I usually get the 1" stuff and spread it on top of my base. It creates a fantastic all weather road... But even having a local source, it's expensive. But much cheaper than asphalt.

Looks good Cash. That switchback turn can be touchy when the ice and snow build up. I have a very similar driveway. Hard to tell how steep yours is but mine is pretty steep and it is on the north facing side of the mountain, so it gets little melt off through the winter. A dually is a no go most of the winter. It can get dicey at times.

I bet that was more than $8.00.

Looks good.

The key question to a driveway in the mountains is, "Which way does it face?" If it is south facing the sun will melt the snow.

If north facing, like my half mile long driveway, you get what we call The Valley of Norway. That is why I spent $1,003 on studded snow tires. Got to get them installed this week.

I have to haul gravel about eighteen miles. By the time I load, haul, dump, and spread, five loads makes a good day. That's a good looking driveway. GD

Great Work
Regrade it when you get some moisture (not saturated to mud) and you will probably not have to import much rock.

Looks like you have some good rock under the Fines

This kinda work take a lot of time Kudos for you.
Again looks GREAT.

Are asphalt grindings available in your area? Cheap and compacts well.
