There’s plenty of misconceptions about any group of people anywhere. Outside folks will have their ideas, which are usually re-inforced by Hollywood films (Hollywood is so cliche.. but that’s part of the fun of it all).
In most Hollywood films, country-folks living on dirt roads tend to drive really fast… sliding around corners on the dirt and gravel…. tires leaving the earth as saddles are topped…. in actuality, such driving will get you dirty looks from most folks you’ll encounter on those roads…. if you go out of control you’re going to run into their fences or trees, or other vehicles on the road.
Regardless of how much fun it is to slide around blind curves… it is not something you should do… and driving fast on a dirt road raises huge ripples that will cause costly damage to any vehicle that uses them regularly.
We have hardly anyone living back in this canyon…. yet we still see several vehicles go into the creek each year. And this particular fence gets whacked every so often also… it is at the end of a straight-away that is really fun to slide around…. but here we see three recent impacts… two of them that still bear fresh tire marks. Your right to drive like a lunatic ends where my fenders begin.
Don’t drive like ‘The dukes of Hazard’ in our canyon!
