Road Conditions Drive with care ...
~ A good shovel would be good to have
with all vehicles traversing Lava Ranch Property.... |
Val Larsen
Bring your gate key to access areas of the Property.
Drivers can drive on gravel roadways in ways that help maintain the roadway.
Never drive in the ruts of a gravel road.
Never drive directly through a pothole.
Always drive on the lower edge of loose gravel deposits, potholes and ruts.
This will help to allow the water to run off the roadway.

We spend most of our budget maintaining roadways, PLEASE help any way you can.
Save the Roads ...
Please do us all a favor.... If you have a 4WD vehicle, please
put it into 4WD once you leave the County Road to head up
on the Mountain Roads. Leave it in 4WD until you get back to
the County Road. Dirt roads are fragile roads, and anything
you can do to help extend the time between gradings will
benefit you, your neighbors and visitors to Lava Ranch Property.
Oh, and lest I forget, the 20 MPH speed limit helps save
our roads too. Many of us have witnessed some of our younger
drivers speeding along at well over the 20MPH speed limit.
If you have a son or daughter who drives our roads, please
have them read this section.
And if you are one who doesn’t pay
attention to the speed limits on Lava Ranch Property.... have them
read this section outloud to you. Or you could just read it again,
and again, and again, and again .... Until it sinks in.

Summer 2015
Mountain roads are Extremely fragile roads,
and anything you can do to not dig-in while driving will benefit us all.
Drive all Atv's with caution so as to not damage the roads. REMEMBER!
Every "Cookie" you spin trashes the roadway..... PLEASE be very carefull
while traveling on Lava Ranch Property Roads.
### ### Do
you know of road conditions needing reported? .... Please Let someone know.? ###
To be able to have an informative webpage, I need input from
different people on the many different topics.
With help, I'll be able to compile the different information
and present it to the property owners in a timely manner.
I'm unable to get all the different information without HELP
and would appeciate any information offered by others.
If you could give me a hand on this project, please send it e-mail ....
from the comment prompt on any webpage.... and I'll get it out to everyone.
THANKS
Please watch for equipment working.
This Web site is for association members and friends of Lava
Ranch. Please give your input! You may email Val@LavaRanchSecurity.com
to let me know what you think, and any suggestions you may have.... I welcome your calls on anything, including
road conditions.

Lava Ranch Residents ...
1. Maintain the culverts located on your property.
2. Educate your family, guests, and contractors regarding the Lava Ranch Property speed limit and yielding to uphill traffic.
3. Notify someone of any unsafe conditions on Lava Ranch Property.
4. Carefully note any change in water diversion (runoff) on your property due to movement of fill. If water diverts to the road,
try to correct the problem and contact Harry Scott, our road representative so adjustments to the ditch or barpit can be made
during the next seasonal maintenance if needed.
5. Please be mindfull of heavy and dead vegetation on your or common property, and try to manage
as you have time.
Use
Your Four Wheel Drive
AGAIN.... To extend the usability of our roads, we ask that when you drive your selectable four wheel drive vehicle, please put it into four wheel drive whenever driving on Lava Ranch Property. The additional traction afforded by 4WD will significantly reduce the amount of damage to the roads. With less damage to the roads, we will be able to invest your road maintenance dollars into more permanent solutions. Regardless of what you drive, please remember to observe our 20 mph speed limit. The severe washboard areas on the Mountain is caused by speeding vehicles losing traction. Please be the solution instead of the problem.
Now:
.... On My Soap Box !!!
As you drive around Lava Ranch Property,
you might notice that the roads are sometimes narrow to the point that it's hard to pass
oncomming traffic. It would be a great service to ALL property owners ... if EVERYONE were to
trim where the brush overhangs the roadway at each individual property, thus
making the roadways usable an additional 6-8 feet in width.... THIS would help greatly if there
were ever an Emergency and we needed the roads for Evacuation OR for Emergency Responders.
It is also my hope that the Lava Ranch Property Owners and Guests would also respect the
wider safer roads, and drive reasonably so as not to keep tearing them up.
Working together, we all can be a part of the solution.
