Nobody wants to hit a dog and it's not the dogs fault they have a careless owner. It's seems ludicrous that I have to inform him when the track is open. He should plan on the track bring open on weekends. It's only closed if it's raining or too wet.
I just read you can apply to the county to have dust control applied to the road. Oil is too expensive but calcium chloride is $400 for 100 meters. On any other road the resident pays for it if they have a problem with the dust. I don't think dust on a public road is my problem but I can also see this neighbor complaining about having to pay to control dust past his property. Would it be worth offering to pay a portion to have calcium chloride applied to the road beside his property? It could be a lot less hassle than having to use my water truck multiple times to water the road. I could talk to the county but I doubt they'd give me a break. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask and explain the situation. If the neighbor wasn't such a jerk regarding his dogs, I'd gladly split the cost. Maybe that could be a bargaining thing. I'll split the cost of dust control if he keeps his dogs off the road all the time. I think I'll discuss it with my friend who talked to him. I shouldn't have to pay anything but it could be money well spent. Then the neighbor couldn't say I was un-cooperative.
