Last night’s Symphony in the Flint Hills was over about 9, but Dave and I hung around until midnight to leave – waiting for thousands of cars to clear out. The symphony site was pretty much one way in, one way out.
Anyway, at midnight a little bit of rain fell as we drove on the eight miles of county road to get to K-177. So now my car is covered with limestone dust.
Car covered in dust?
Just think what your lungs look like. I can’t think that this is good for any living thing. We have it around this part of town in the alleys and it will cover everything with a white coating of this stuff. It should be outlawed!
Just my thoughts.
I live out in the country and my jeep looks somewhat like that after rain/mist, so the Lyon county dust may be just as bad. Hey–it’s country livin’! (it looks like ‘new gravel’ dust to me)
New gravel it was. The roads were bolstered for the thousands of cars treking miles into the hills. It does shroud a car after a trip through, but still provides some of my favorite scenes – the billowing clouds of dust behind trucks moving along country roads. From the symphony site I looked south and saw limestone dust rising in the early light like a morning fog. On the way home I love how clouds of dust ahead and behind me turned the head and tail lights of weary drivers into layers of impressionistic art. Once home, I parked my truck in the street and an evening shower washed almost all of it away. Cheryl was parked in the garage overnight so it was a bit moldy looking by daylight. A quick rinse and it’s gone too.
