That #$%* sucks when it is fresh.  But in a couple weeks or a month it will be fine.  In Michigan,  most 2 lane type country  roads get a coating of it every couple years...if you are lucky.

They do that to our local roads here too.  Not that bad, only in some areas the loose stuff stays on top for quite a while.
