Tell me ab

The state (NM and AZ; don't know much about UT) and US signed highways across the Reservation are fine. IR-12 is so-so (paved but not always plowed after a snowstorm).
Gravel, you say? Many, many Reservation roads off the main highways are dirt (which turns to mud after a heavy downpour or once the snow starts melting). There are days I'd kill for a gravel road!

Was unaware that Alcoholics Anonymous published road maps.
