Trust me - it’s still rutted in places and it is not ‘parking lot smooth’ by any stretch, but it’s easier to plow snow off of it than plain gravel, so that’s a plus.

It just looks like a service road to get to the crop fields, which is also what it’s used for, so if you don’t know where we live, you DON’T know where we live. :)

"looks like a service road to get to the crop fields"

Boom Crash! Washboard and ruts! And I had all these JoAnne Gaines and Pioneer Woman images of a smoothly paved driveway! :)

"you DON’T know where we live" Always smart to remain low profile!

I will not suggest the Prepper Apocalypse Soon idea of putting a "decorative" burned out trailer or vehicle a bit back from the "service road" turn off to reinforce that "Abandoned property, no one lives here, turn back now, nothing to see here!" impression. You are far enough away from Madison and Milwaukee that you do not need to torch a trailer for effect! :O (I currently live on a main thoroughfare about a mile from KS/MO border so no real hiding here!)
