This is mostly a personal anecdote with maybe only limited applicability here. But something like 5 years ago I was on a vacation to Hell Creek State Park [0] in Montana, on the banks of the Fort Peck reservoir. There is a marina there servicing the fishermen and running the campground. To get there you had to take 30 miles of a horribly maintained "gravel" road. That's the last 30 miles and the nearest town is the thriving metropolis of Jordan, MT, population 368. We'll it was a pretty WTF moment when I saw UPS and FedEx delivery trucks roll into the marina. That's like a 2 hour round trip at 30 MPH to get the driver back on a paved road. Not to mention the maintenance burden on the shocks for the trucks. I wonder what the cost of subsidies that UPS and FedEx must be paying to service places like that.
