A Small Annual Maintenance Matter

In the spring clean up department, a few weeks back we had the drive regraded, and while he was at it, Mickey put in new gravel.   The paths and driveway look fantastic for a couple of weeks after this...

Unfortunately at the first big rain, we find a new gulley on the downhill side of the drive, and we can begin to observe as our gravel begins the journey first out into the road and eventually over into Beaver Run.  I am quite sure that I have gravel as far down the Shenandoah as Front Royal by now.

I used to look at this as one of the small projects...but now I recognize that it is at minimum an annual task -  unless we spring for getting the drive way paved.
