    That one is pretty scary when it's been snowing. I had a religious experience on 303 one morning!

    I grew up near there 10 minutes away in hudson. The hill in question, while steep, is rather short and straight, the only way it could create a problem is if a fool wasn't paying attention and looking out for cars coming to a so at the bottom.

    Log haulers know about grades. Like when you have to tie to your front bunk and put on a strip chain and still have to get towed up the spur to the haul road? Oh yeah. ;)
     
    okiedokie, azheavyduty and Lepton1 Thank this.

    New testament. After the crucifixion Paul was on the road to Damascus and Jesus appeared to him and took his sight.

    Paul, the persecutor of jesus and his followers become a devoted disciple.
