No ALL gravel, but believe it or not, the paved sections are WORSE than the
gravel... If you get ruts or washboard on the gravel, you just run the
'grader over it, and it's brand new... the pavement suffers from HUGE frost
heaves & potholes... much harder to maintain in that climate.
I do believe we got airborne a couple of times on the paved sections... look
for deep scratches in the road... if you see 'em, hit the brakes!!
Besides, a '68-'70 Charger is the perfect car to take gravel corners @
70+mph (I'm surprised we never got pulled over in Canada) after a while, we
had 1/8th of an inch of dirt caked on the side of the car.. we used a
windshield cleaner to write '01' on the doors... we got some hollars and
thumbs up after that...
