Arkansas scrapes off the grass from the shoulders and replaces it with gravel once a year.
He he. Once your car hits that stuff in any operational envelope other than controlled you are finished for the day.
I once took several dump loads of gravel into a set of woods with mud from recent rains. I swear 2 day’s worth of rock went into the ground never to be seen again.
On a recent flight from BWI over Dulles heading west I saw a very large quarry full of green water somewhere between Balt and DC where was this place at?
There are gravel trains in arkansas that carry a back hoe able to “jump” from car to car as it does it’s work.
