I live in a rural area where gravel and dirt roads outnumber paved roads by an easy 100 to 1. The issue with these roads is that they change with the season, the weather, the stage that farmers are at and the health of the county road department. Those nuances are known to locals but cannot be expected to be known by gps. I travel gravel and dirt daily by paying attention to butte landmarks, the location of the sun, certain farms and barns but most importantly, local gossip. I recall Los Angeles friends visiting and exclaiming &quot;oh my gawd how in the world do you drive these roads -- no signage, no businesses, no gps?&quot; I said all you have to do is look and listen very well and I can drive roads here I have never been on.  Look ma..no gps..just eyes and ears.
