Well, that's in Minnesota, no? (And how about mud season?)

Here's a shot of a road I drive quite often - Ash Canyon Road west of Carson City. It climbs about 2000 ft in a couple of miles, and has 18-inch waterbars every few hundred feet. The shot is from one of the better parts, cresting a ridge where it levels off and has a wide place where you can park. ("Second landing", for those who know it.) I've seen a jeep get high-centered on this road before.

And sometimes you need to haul your friends around, too :-)
