It really wouldn't matter if they are putting as a base or just a cover - if it isn't graded properly it will wash out, pit out and create havoc when it rains. 
  I am not a grader, and I have no business saying how your graders should preform, however I think this area of back roads have been lacking in upkeep for years.   I would presume to guess that it's about budget and training, or lack thereof.

From what I understand, they graded it down taking off the top few inches of road and then they're pouring a fine ground rock layer down about 6" or so thick and then coming in and wetting it and then going over it with steam rollers and pressing it down.  I guess they can't have that equipment bounced and banged around transporting it up there, but from what I hear, it'll cost quite a bit of money to do this.

Does anyone know what happened in the commissioners meeting today? Whats going on with our rock budget?
