Used on our gunclub road - 1/2 mile - about 5 yrs ago. Packed nicely and
holding up to the slow traffic as well as the heavier, County Fair useage.

Thanks to all who responded. We will check out the prices and see if
it's feasible. Chuck B.

I used it on some campground roads, spread as delivered. It never really
knitted together as promised. This was likely due to the lack of direct
sunlight on the roads and being in the northeast vs. in Fla or something.
Its cheap though and equivalent or better than gravel yet will not replace
asphalt.
