Mountain Driving
June 4, 2008
Mountain driving is terrifying! I have driven in the Smokey Mountains several times and have had no problems, but the Rocky Mountains are completely different. In fact, I never ever want to drive through them again. So, I just want to send out a few words of caution about it:
If you are afraid of heights you will not like driving through the Rockies.
If you are the passanger of a really bad driver please insist on driving yourself.
Make sure you have your vehicle checked out before climing the Rockies in case of break failure.
Do not ride your breaks - simply go slow enough so you do not have to use them often.
That is all for now. I just wanted to share the sheer terror I felt climbing up to 10,000 feet.
