    Yes. It's about 40 miles shorter to go up the back way, and 70 mph speed limit, but there's like a 9,000 foot hill on U.S. 50 you have to go over, then more hills, then Cabbage.
    I went that way in December, and there were 3 big trucks frozen in place on that hill east of Austin lol. At the top too lol.
    It's 20 mph / 7% switchbacks all the way into town.
    I was thinking why in the actual F would you guys stop up here at the top lol?
    Maybe got dark, I don’t know, but that's enough of that until the thaw.

    Youre forgetting one thing. Don't disturb the Yeti. He will come and eat all your fish.

    Yeti, for when you want your coffee to stay hot for 14 Days or you want everyone to knows you spent 30 bucks on a bottle opener.
