Tarvey
Tarvy, that’s what they called it. You had to do a gravel spread of a certain length. Then an oil truck would put down a layer of oil. After that the grader would spend a long time mixing the two until finally laying out the roadway which would be flattened by a steam roller.1973. That’s Robbie Stevens monitoring the flow. He and Doug Nixon were hired on that summer as casuals. Ahead of Robbie you can see the marker. We were supposed to control our dump to fit between the flag guy and that mark. Got pretty good at it after a while.

Dust
1973 we paved the road from Trimble’s Corner to the co-op. It took a long shower to get rid of the coat of dust.
