    There's no way to avoid that.
    One driver got so scared that he parked his Big truck
    and jumped over the cliff. Said it just felt like the right thing to do.
    Then he assumed room temperature.
    The industry loses thousands of Big truck truck drivers every year as
    a direct result of falling off of cliffs in Colorado, especially on Pike's Peak.
    That's how that state controls it's population, even though most of those who
    take the plunge are from states other than Colorado.

    Colorado would be an excellent place to open a heavy recovery business.
    You'd stay busy winchin' Big trucks back up the cliff.

    You bet, They wont be able to find you until the spring weather comes in. If you have to go to the hospital, forget it, there are none. I would go around it. LOL

    That's why the mining industry is so entrenched in Colorado, Shocky--the trucks that have fallen off the cliff eventually revert to their natural elements.

    Remember back in the early 90's, when all the unemployed white rap stars became truck drivers? They just recently discovered the motherlode on Pike's Peak. Near as they can figure, it was from the rap stars crashing off the side of the cliff from having too much gold jewelry and gold teeth. The inertia... Yeah... That kinda stuff.

    So let this be a lesson for all you newbies. DO NOT drive in Colorado with gold teeth or you will DIE!!!

    Thank you.
