First, it was good you made it.

I don't understand about the use of the oil. Are you talking about seal coating the asphalt roads? At first I thought your "learning experience" was on a gravel road. Thanks.

They spray hot oil down and spread1-2" of clean gravel on top. The traffic essentially tamps it down to a hard surface but it's loose gravel until then. Tire paths pack 1st and eventually the entire road. You can imagine the windrow of loose gravel between the tire path. Mainly secondary roads but the come up w/ very little notice.
