One side benefit of using anti-skid (sharp, pea-sized broken stone) for
ballast is that whenever you do get stuck, and it will happen, it's right there to
throw under the tires.  A local contractor supply yard charges about $3/100#.
They keep empty 100# flour sacks from a bakery on hand just for that purpose.
