The Alpine Road

The Sandman, aka Oscar, has experienced some problems on the Beaver slide (a short very steep grade on the Alpine) that he gravels with a spreader machine mounted in his red, 4 door, Ford truck. If you see the truck on the Beaver slide driving on the wrong side of the road with emergency flashers going and gravel flying from the rear of the truck, please be patient either waiting at the top or the bottom of the hill. The delay will not be more than 5 minutes. The newly spread gravel helps prevent vehicles from sliding on the steep grade. I have had people try to pass me while I am trying to do this very short but important job. The result is vehicles being struck by three quarter inch gravel.

Thanks, The Sandman
