I wonder which mine.

Wonderful. Sometimes you have to dispense with the bureaucracy to get things done.

If you’ve driven much in WV, you’ll know that their definition of drivable roads probably don’t match what the good governor of North Carolina considers driveable.

[Mik]

I have driven more than a fair amount in WV. I find their roads to be fine as far as state highways. In any event, passable is much better than impassable.

See, there you go. Highways…

@Aqua-Letifer help me out, here…

I think the miscommunication here is not so much the definition of "passable," but the definition of "road."

[LuFins Dad]

True. I’ve been on a few that I would define more as a goat trail with wheel ruts.

When I was growing up, if you wanted weekend plans, that's just what you put up with. Fire roads and double-track.

I remember one going up to Dolly Sods being particularly gnarly. It was nice and dry in the afternoon, hadn't rained for days and that road was just a lake of mud. It made absolutely no sense it was that muddy. Park ranger said it's just always like that.

[Mik]

I have too, but any road is better than no road. I think you’re missing the point.
