    I've seen a lot of rough gravel lots, but this one really is a moon landing. Stole this picture from the Google reviews. Makes me giggle imagining one of the Amazon Prime fellas barreling through here at 20mph

    Apparently the reasoning is because they don't own the gravel portion, so it's not getting filled. No clue who owns it

    That’s one of those lots where you better have your diffs locked in or you might not be getting out of one of those holes.

    Back a couple years ago at the petro in Kingman az before they repaved the whole lot it used to be moon crater city there, and really dark, no lights in the lot...
    was sitting there in the driver seat doing some paperwork and I witnessed a FedEx daycab come barreling thru the lot about 20+mph and he squared up a moon crater..
    all I seen was the silhouette of the driver doing his best bull rider impression and his truck go flying . Pretty sure he caught some air on that lol I laughed my ### off for about 20 minutes straight

    Man, that looks worse that a trailer lot at a Canadian paper mill!

    ....On second thought, I remember one Canadian paper mill lot that I had to traverse melt water up past my hubs.....

    I was walking back to the truck after dinner one night in a lot that looked a lot like that. I reached down to pick up an airhorn that I stepped on and found out it was hooked to a truck.
    OK so I might be exaggerating a little bit.
