    I don't mind the mountains themselves, it's when you can look over the edge of the road and see just how far you're gonna fall if you go over. I'm glad the school I plan on going to takes students down sandstone mountain.

    Do not ever back under trailer when it is too high, if you go past the kingpin, you will have hell to pay. Just giving you the same advice given to me.
