Yikes! Your gravel must have had a worse winter than I did. I've seen rocks in actual tumblers that look less beat up after a whole week. Imagine if that gravel could talk, it'd probably complain about the potholes more than my car does. Makes me side-eye the shiny river rocks in my garden, wondering if they're just lazy. Oldest rock I ever held was some boring granite, but at least it didn't whine about the weather.
