LOL Charley! I often think about how these roads would be in winter. There are so many roads that are steep, tightly curved, or both. Just leaving my road and moving into the main road is a difficult proposition in the rain. I have seen people wait at the bottom of the rise before gunning up to the intersection.

The only problem here is the coral and limestone roads. In the rain they become very slick. There are several theories for this. One is that there is an algae that exists in powder form. When it gets wet it opens up into a jelly like mass. I have seen it in parking lots so I know it really exists. That stuff is as bad as black ice. Then there is the theory that it is the oil that contaminates the road surfaces. In the rain that forms a slick as well. And my own special theory is that the limestone itself gets slick when it rains. And remember, it rains a lot here in the wet season.

Add to all that the fact that my pickup no longer is carrying weight for traction and the rear wheels have a tendency to dance a bit on the wet roads. The (corrupt and unstable) government of Guam is making improvements. Many tight curves have been coated with asphalt which gives better traction. I guess the asphalt doesn't have the cracks and spaces the limestone does so the algae cannot collect on the roads in those places.
