Some of you should remember this road as I've taken some of you on it, Josh will remember the stone walled corner and pickup truck.  lol

Very nice.    As a flatlander it's not the hills and it's not the "U" turns. It's the "U" turn on the steep uphill that unnerves me. That feeling of  "if it stalls I'm going down".  Is that only me?

"Keep going you old darling" is considerably more 'pre-watershed' language than I'd have been using at that point I can tell you :)
