The Monster - an apt description of this pothole riddled ribby riffled DIRT/MUD squiggly. Fun facts: in freezing temps IT can become a continuous sheet of ice at the moisture-holding lower section. Fortunately there's a nice deep drop off for you to slide into on that section, replete with murky pond full of fallen trees and tree parts and who knows what. Although there is a guardrail along the pond but you'll have another chance just past the pond to see if you've got stunt driver skills, and oh goody the drop off is still there, just not the guardrail. Who are they trying to protect, the drivers or the pond??? 😆 Mysteriousness abounds here. 3 days after VDOT dregs up (so called road maintenance 😂) the few hundred gravels that miraculously avoided being mechanically separated (Jacobs Ladder residents believe this may be the actual source of galactic dark matter) by the underlying bedrock (most vanish into the magical dirt during the night... never to be seen again) the exact same previous potholes, ribs, ripples etc return...seemingly unaffected in the least by the efforts of engineers and quarrymen, If they ever pave it, i shudder to think what will befall the asphalt.
