Well I hit the jack pot with the Alton Highway dept. Turns out the secretary lives on the road in question. How cool is that??
I asked a ton of questions and now have a much better idea about the area and the road. She said it is "ledge pack" and was rebuilt in 2009. Lots of drainage. Little dust. None of those ripples. The residents had a chance to get the road paved, but they voted it down because they wanted to keep the speed down and the country feel.
Hey I figure if the secretary of the highway dept lives on the road, that road WILL be maintained...doncha think?
Anyway, great conversation with yet another wonderful lakes region resident.
(Is it something in the water that makes everyone seem so nice and happy?)
