Why I Love Living In The Country - Reason #237

After a mild winter and heavy spring rainfall totals...our roads look like this. And that one is in good shape.

Further down the road:

Yes, sir. You go right ahead and buy your little 4-cylinder compact hybrids. Me, I'll take my SUV and a line of credit at 1st National any day of the week.

I really wanted to take a picture of the township's method of fixing the road, which is to tie an orange flag to a stake and pound it into the deepest rut. However, the stakes had been trampled too far down into the mud for me to even try and resurrect them for a photo op.

And to be fair, the township grader came down the road a few moments later. I'm not sure why they bothered. More rain is forcast for the rest of the week.
