I grew up nearly at the foot of the Grapevine in San Bernardino where I accompanied my father over the original road in 1960's era tractor trailers. I have driven it many times in my life.

Actually I meant what I wrote. There are many folks here who have no idea of the geography of that area there is no reason to bore them with the details. It's close enough to say "nearly" at the foot....
