How about Corduroy? Not the fabric, but the road (trail) stabilization
system. It's an old construction and works well in wetlands and on slippery
surfaces, such as clay. Can't tell you where to find construction techniques,
but it's fairly simple. Maybe some old military manual would have something
on the subject. The ACE would likely place more faith in something they read
out of an old military engineers manual than something they heard from a
modern endurance rider. The park service uses this technique in the wetlands
of CA parks. I've seen it used in Kngs Canyon N.P.
