Hello everyone, I am new here, and my road problem is big.
Our home is 3+ miles deep in the forest. We have no neighbors and our only Access road is an old logging trail. It is just wide enough for one lane. We are located in West Virginia so the road goes up and down and around twisting and turning. The lower sections of the road have a lot of deep soft clay. Parts of the road are very rutted, the low spots are where the water runs down the mountains and across the road and of course many streams. I have spent years filling in with rocks only to have them sink. The only solution that I have found for the low spots that has work for me and tends to last is something called corduroy. It is the laying down of log lengths across the the road. It provides a form of bridge that one can drive on. It's bumpy but works. Unfortunately for me I have no equipment, everything has to be done by hand. And no one can deliver anything to us. So no deliveries of rocks etc. The logs can get heavy at times but once they're in place they tend to last.
