Our local highways and byways

[Dsuupr]

I found some great video on one of our major highways and some of the back roads we go on to avoid traffic.

Skip 1/2 way through for the better part of this road.

Though we use the dirt roads for rallying, we mostly just use them to get where we need to go (mostly wineries). Faiview (the dirt road) is just a few blocks from my place. We live on one of those fancy paved streets in the big city (just over 3000 people).

Cool, Dsuupr. I remember a time when the public roads around my grandparents' farm were unpaved. Rain would turn them into slick, squirrely washboards, which would throw the old pickup truck sideways if you went too fast. I remember riding with my uncle once and we sideswiped another local farmer, knocked the mirrors off and put a scrape down the side of both trucks.

Those were the days! If you did that in a modern truck (any, not just the Turdra), you'd probably cause $5k in body damage - to each vehicle! (Of course, the Turdra would probably split in half!)
