This area was re-topped maybe 1-2 years ago, so the darker part that you see is not actually fresh. I have been on it closer to its resurfacing. I suspect that the junk I slid on was probably spillage from some truck using the roadway. The rest of both FM 149 and FM 3090 were essentially "clean".
Probably think twice about riding in this area again since I don't need the riprap / chipseal aggro and the curves are OK but bumpy. Not worth it.
