That awful erosion is actually pretty simple to avoid. You dig a shallow cross-ditch called a "thank-you-ma'am". (It really is. I don't know why.) <br /><br />A unlined thank-you-ma'am (just a raw ditch in the dirt) won't last more than a season, and will itself erode a bit, but it'll slow the process down. A lined one (such as with bricks, or better yet, a pipe under the road surface) will pretty much halt the erosion, and last a long time. <br /><br />Whoever's in charge of that track in the photos should spend a day doing some of that. At least a few simple trenches. In rainy places like my home and yours, erosion can quickly do real damage to a road and surrounding property. <br /><br />Viewpoint looks great, though! <br /><br />Robin<br />Rusty Ring: Reflections of an Old-Timey HermitRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08522501894058291952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370507126301127317.post-76157583626399601372018-05-22T22:23:26.195+01:002018-05-22T22:23:26.195+01:00Worth the walk to see that view.Worth the walk to see that view.Fun60https://www.blogger.com/profile/08084441984556826917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370507126301127317.post-39265261361703028392018-05-22T22:15:12.373+01:002018-05-22T22:15:12.373+01:00Beautiful view!

It might work slowly, but it can dig deep. I think of all the huge canyons here in North America, carved into the earth by running water. Right now western Canada is suffering from floods, and at least one river has carved a new path for itself.<br />Kay<br />An Unfittie's Guide to Adventurous Travel<br />Kay L.
