                            County caliche roads require regular maintenance that includes retopping every 5 to 10 years. The trucks that haul the material dump ~100 loads per mile and average 35 to 40 miles per year.
 
 
                            Heavy snow and wind in the Texas Panhandle can often make roads impassable due to drifting snow. Even light snowfall can cause problems because of drifting.
