I do not think about October fest. It used to be huge, but I guess it got pushed underground because of terrorism of these Germanic beer drinking crazies grabbing asses in california. Talking dirty too. How gauche. If anybody name Ahnold evah came up to me and started talking dirty I would slap his silly face, I don't care how many muscles he had. ( I can see it now, "Hey b**ch! Dat is terriffic mammary development you have there, what do you take for it? Say, can I see if they are real?" B:"Ouch! get away from me you overbuilt Schnauzer.. security!" A: "Hey! Ok I was just comparing abs and pecs.. really I thot you were in the contest ") Maybe it is because I don't talk effin dirty and drink beer that I missed it. Don't live the gemutlichkeit much anymore. EC<:-}

They do put bed in low ground, but they are very careful about drainage, and of course that is why bed is so coarse as well, so it can take run off, and run off moisture itself. Diabase rock and smelter slag from Inco was the preferred bed for the CN-CP. It's about 2 to 3 inch. Mix that with straight gravel and it might make good road bed in a washy area. But nothing beats la ditch and la culvert. Takes a bit of thinking and levelling. What might work for a psuedo culvert is a few trees across the road with rip rap about them and put sand on top. Two deep 8x 8's and 2 rows of 3/6 on top of that and you have good enough culvert. Pentox soak for 24 hrs. would help. the roads people in NO use rip rap as first line of defense in all their construction in la swamp. They are always looking for it. Good for clay areas too as it slows down and spreads out the water flow.
