Re: Got our 3rd Jeep, a second old XJ
 

In my part of Colorado, we would use salt, but the rest of the state
wouldn't understand. Since our town and county lives off of rural community
welfare (some call it "grants") all we can get "for free" from the state, is
sand. When the sand, ice and snow pack together, it makes a reasonable road
surface. Most of our drivers, including the tourists, respect its "special"
vehicle handling characteristics.

We do use magnesium chloride, a less corrosive kind of salt, in the summer,
to keep the dust down on our unpaved roads. I imagine that the
Boulder/Denver tree hugger cartel will put an end to that soon too.

Same here in Tennessee Tom. All they have to do is hint at snow or ice and
they load em up.
It takes a long time for it go go off the roads though. Funny, it doesn't
affect the vegetation.
