Yeah, around here it's a lot like the "dobie" mud around Delta.

Doesn't usually get that deep, just the top few inches turns to slime that splatters all over/under your vehicle and then dries as hard as bricks.

The county grader has been conscientiously scraping all the gravel off into the ditches for the past thirty years, until the road is mostly just dirt. So is our driveway that never had much gravel but not much point to spend any money on it since there is still about eight miles of dirt/gravel county road. The first mile below our place gets almost impassible when it gets wet.

We finally got to where all of our vehicles (except the old pickup waiting to be fixed up) and now 4x4 because we would go to town on a dry summer day and not be able to get home again after an afternoon rain shower.
