Muddy Driveway

Muddy driveway is a typical example of compaction +standing water + kneading of wet dirt.  This would create a great rice paddy to hold water, but when it happens on a driveway, only my truck slides down the hill and can't get back up to the house.

I left the truck in the field and walked back up.  4 years ago the truck was stuck for 2 weeks due to continuous rain.  Over time I improved driveway conditions by adding rocks and stones around the field, but still not enough. 

Today actually it felt different.  rocks were slippery.  Tires are big mud balls and have no traction. 

Best thing to do is just lay gravel or don't go driving down when wet.
