Not to mention beautiful grounds and large ponds or lakes with big earth dams
Once upon a time, 40 years or so ago, after a heavy rainstorm my uncle’s road (gravel) washed out completely. One of his kids wasn’t able to get home that night after work in town. Uncle had been after the supervisor to at least regrade the road. To no avail. Uncle told his kid to go stay the the supervisors house (there weren’t any motels there at the time).
Road got paved with a quickness after that.
