Very admirable work, Gary 
I can honestly say, I don't think I've seen anyone deal with this type of backdrop situation better. In fact, I think this whole back-and-forth discussion should be useful to anyone contemplating painting their own backdrop.
One piece of more abstract advice that sometimes helps me. The road scene looks good enough as it is right now. Move on to another area, forget about this area, and a few days (or weeks) later come back to it with a fresh eye. You will see and understand things differently than you did before.
