Well, its been 5 years, and I FINALLY put in the effort to do some research on some gravel within driving distance. Its no out-your-front-door gravel like we had in Michigan, but it was an extremely enjoyable (and hilly) ride within a reasonable driving distance. AND I dont think a single car passed me.
While I didn't see any cars, I did see: Cows, Chickens, Sheep, Ponies, Turkeys, Deer, and a groundhog.
I'll have to keep this in mind.
