It was a good gravel road past our place. The county must have used the 
roads as a disposal pit. They used brine and sometimes a mix.  We were 
only about 5 to 6 miles from the edge of a shallow oil field to the N 
and about 10 miles to the E of a refinery. By the end of summer that 
road was like concrete with potholes. It took some heavy equipment to 
recondition those roads We'd get snowstorm that would leave enough that 
it'd take two plows to open the road.  They'd use two "V" plows with one 
pushing the other.  "Usually" the back plow could pull the front one 
out.  It might take 5 or 6 tries to get past our place.

More than once the school bus was caught in a surprise snow storm. The 
senior boys would pile out and between digging and pushing would free 
the bus.  We were farm kids and that was nothing out of the ordinary.  
They'd crucify today's buss drivers who did that.

BTW, I'm not receiving any posts from contesting dot com since I changed 
my address to k8ri dot net because of the colorful spam. The addresses 
work, they just don't receive any news groups.
The site says my address changed for all the sites, but I'm still not 
receiving anything and I can't find a way to contact them. Moderators 
haven't been able to do anything.
