It does remind me of that stretch of road on Hwy 52 right before the first stoplight when you're coming into Lafayette. It's so rough from patches and new potholes that every time we hit it and Lisa's dozing in the passenger's seat, she wakes up with "We're already in Lafayette?"
Except for the bright white line, that could have been the country road the my grandparents house was on in the 1980s. It was more patch than it was road.
ReplyDeleteThat might have had something to do with the decades of log trucks using it.
Think yourself lucky that they're bothering to repair them and, apparently, making a tidy job of it. Here in England they bodge them on a good day. Proper repairs never seem to occur to the desk jockeys at local councils.
ReplyDeleteFunny part is there's a DOT worker somewhere nodding quietly... Good job, Mate, good job!
ReplyDeleteAside from the road what beautiful country.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing.

ReplyDeleteI thought it was the Iowa DOT testing lab , they have a few roads like that for durability testing of patch materials.
This is just all the old ladies in the county having to take road repairs on by themselves. So they stop making quilts and start fixing the roads.
ReplyDeletephotoshop. I have never seen a road patched that neat.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to live near asphalt Id want it to look like that. Keeps the city folk out
ReplyDeleteLooks like a quilt.
ReplyDeleteMakes you wonder where all your gas tax money goes.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the roads to my grandparents between Sacramento and Oroville in 1960's California. You would be driving along an be thrown side to side by all the patches.
