Driving On Gravel

The coarse, crunchy earth grinds beneath the great power of your roughly rotating radial tires. The chorus of crushing rocks is a sweet reminder that the power to approach the highest, most treacherous peaks is within your grasp as you push down on the gas and gun your Jeep forward along the dusty trail. Kick into high gear and get moving with the sound of a sandy gravel road rumbling beneath your feet and in your ears. Gravel is any loose rock that is larger than 2 mm (0.079 in) and no more than 64 mm (2.5 in). Many roadways are surfaced with gravel, especially in rural areas where there is little traffic. Russia alone has over 400,000 km (250,000 mi) of gravel-surfaced roads. As of 2006, the United States is the world's leading producer and consumer of gravel.
