    I come from Colorado, so I really appreciate the mountains there. Loveland pass on a cold, snow-covered moonlit night can be quite beautiful. But if you want mountain grades some of the short, sharp grades in PA are a real challenge!

    Good old Appalachian hill folk. I've seen lawnmowers pulling trailers with groceries in it. Pretty good chance anyone doing that has a suspended DL due to a DUI conviction.

    The 322 in Pennsylvania really sucks in places.

    How'd y'all make it to Ak and back so fast? Just asking.
