Rarer still are people who appreciate them enough to take a couple of pics to share.ToadMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873763565941746536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35229604.post-1017021976907580222015-02-28T13:25:00.879+13:002015-02-28T13:25:00.879+13:00I guess they do mostly go through sparsely populat...I guess they do mostly go through sparsely populated and rural areas. But the thing is, we don't have to go far to find those sorts of areas. Even the boys in Auckland (biggest city - 1M) can get to gravel in about an hour.Andrew Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716829007873864871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35229604.post-59654616759441019792015-02-28T13:09:58.250+13:002015-02-28T13:09:58.250+13:00Andrew, you've done well already and now grave...Andrew, you've done well already and now gravel.....I was hoping that I wouldn't be the first to show ScooterBob a bit of dust. So do your gravel roads mostly go through sparsely populated ranch/agricultural areas? I zoomed in on the map....rough rough guess on the population between Tongariro NP and the coast?<br /><br />Thanks for the map(s), always a good thing!Coop a.k.a.
