Back to gravel - another recessionary casualty
So I heard a little blip on the news the other day about counties turning their roads back to gravel in effort to save money. I'm a bit sadend as sometimes those nice one-lane roads seem to be the most less traveled fun roads. I just hate discovering a great new road to only get halfway down it and it turn to gravel. Not saying this circumstance is related to the cut-backs, but now we can rest assured the roads won't be finished any time soon - if at all might even get reversed back to gravel some day. Maybe then it'd be time to get a dual-sport

If you have a 4x4 and cannot find a practical use for it, consider yourself shamed and you should get rid of it
