This is the last section of the access road before our driveway. The pavement is about 1/3 of a mile away. https://v.nostr.build/hi7VhQIPCHyHZjsz.mp4

Nicely graded roadway. That’s a lot of work. Beautiful area!
This is actually the second time the work had been done. The guy that sectioned up the land hired someone that did a horseshit job. Nothing but washout and ruts. One of yhe guys who bought up a few of the lots does dirt work for a living. He installed our driveway and he has been fixing then worst parts of the access road as everyone can pitch in for fuel and rock. It's getting way better.
Yeah. When rains come, bad things happen, but side drainage helps. Paving is useful, but it is stupid expensive and has to be redone, too, just not as often as dirt roadways. But, if you’re in an area unlike ours, where rain is a feature and a bug, ruts and washboarding are a thing. Even on flat forest highways in say, Apalachicola national forest, where no hills or grades are present, washboarding happens.
