Frost heaves are not to bad here, the perpetual pot holes are around. The cold patch they have used washed out in the rain we got Sunday. I'll be practicing my evasive maneuvers on the ride tomorrow for sure. Pot holes don't bother me as much on the bike unless I miss a swerve. The truck is needing some major front end work though, not as easy to maneuver around them. The **** part is all the gravel that seemingly came from no where after the rain. Most of it was gone as they didn't put a ton of it down this winter. Who knows where it came from. Could just be the asphalt patches breaking up.

I only did it once and that was because I wanted to get out before she woke up. I tried to make it home.....but I didn't make it.

Used to chip seal brand new pavement here, first winter it'd be popping out and "gravel" the road pretty good. I thought it was a dumb idea in this climate, and finally the peeps in charge quit doing it to new pavement a few years ago. I've seen brand new asphalt pothole the first winter; those chips popping out left little craters that grew real fast.
Nothing like throwing 1/4 inch stones in to your bike....

I've driven our dump trucks on it, and our superduty with a gooseneck. I can't imagine it's much fun in a semi.
I wish I had pictures, this road by where my wifes dad lives, they paved the whole road except a 8" area in the middle where the lines are, and the 6" from the white lines. 2 lane hwy. The things they will do to cut costs. Now thats a fun road to pull a trailer down and try and pass someone.

Sometimes you just have to leave things out for the betterment of the community.
