Good to know.
Although my conditions are mostly very dry loosely packed uneven dirt (southern europe). NC seems to be quite humid.
I'm guessing any difference is in the composition of said dirt. We are dry most of the time but the clay in the soil means everything stays hard packed. I learned that part of our runway resulted from some soil mining for the adjacent highway many years ago. They stripped off the organic top soil and left red and grey clay with little organic content. It's taken many years to turn it from mainly dirt to mainly grass.
Here is one of my less than smooth landings in the Maule... a little give in the soil would have made this look better and given my wife less to laugh about.
