Dirt roads have "their" place and keeping some is good. Very nice link!!
BUT---I lived on a dirt road for 15 years...yup, I finally got paved by the state last year...and I LOVE IT!
Granted the construction of the road put 1/2 inch of red clay into the pool every day...LOL...and it was covered all over the house and porch and everything...but in the end the paved road is the BEST.
I can open my windows for air now and not have tons of dust inside the house.
So paved roads have a place, but not in front of my house anymore.
