Terryallan - I seem to remember being in third gear, not OD, but it truly needed to be in second gear.
Those of us who normally reside in flat country sometimes overlook the obvious and we find out that if the the posted signs say something about downshifting into second gear, that those signs do not mean to simply downshift into the next available gear. They mean what they say.
We do happen to have a brand new family car with only 200 miles on it. I will definitely read up on your technique before we head out to visit my sister in PA.
