Middle of Nowhere & Dirt Road Hats

Raised on Gravel Co sells apparel built for the ones who grew up on backroads, gravel drives and muddy tires, and the pride is easy to explain. As one Iron Mountain Daily News column on life at the end of a dirt road puts it, dirt roads give character, and they lead more often to a fishing creek or a swimming hole than paved roads do. The same column remembers neighbors who never locked their cars except in August, when someone would fill them with too much zucchini. These Middle of Nowhere and Dirt Road hats are for the person at the end of that road. Badges name the place and the road. The sentence designs are a one-person tourist board: the population sign that counts only you and the dog, directions that end at the pavement, a car the exact color of the road, a cloud of dust that means you are almost home, a mayor with one voter, a nearest neighbor who is a cow, and a traffic jam of one deer. A Grit writer remembers droughts that left the road like powdered sugar coating the car, and a forum rider says he can count the cars that pass on one hand. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for your own mailbox, or give one to the friend who always says keep driving.
