Fear of Driving to the Mountains

As one ole boy told me as I creped down the Rockies for the 1st time. "You can go down a hill too slow many times, you'll only go down it too fast, once."

Take your time and enjoy the view.

I went down one too fast, and made it. But it was a real trip. And I missed the bar at the bottom on the curve. I know a guy who didn't!!! He went right through it, bar, bar back, and the whole kit and kaboodle. But he did miss the gas station next door. Knew a guy who went straight through a church parking lot on a Sunday morning right after church had let out too. The last car had just pulled out of the parking lot. That hill is off limits today, they built a truck by-pass. But the one where the bar is, is still a major truck route.
