No turning back if you don't like what you see.

Nah, not Florida. Kansas, maybe, Nebraska.

Nope, I would walk my ass behind the bus. Miles and miles if necessary.

I suspect that ravine holds pile after pile of car wrecks.

No thanks, I'd walk. I remember taking a road somewhere near Mt. Hood that was a "short cut" back to Vancouver WA. It was gravel, no guard rail and a hell of a drop off and we were on the outside lane of two way traffic. There wasn't really any traffic. I was terrified on that road. It was nothing compared to the one in the OP.

Crazy - what if they meet someone halfway? Where is that - I didn't catch that they said.

You 'walkers' remind me of a family vacation we took when I was in grade school to Colorado. We drove up Pikes Peak and my Dad pulled the car over and told my Mom to drive, and he got out and walked the rest of the way. We still give him crap about that 40 years later

Pffft... try the 110 freeway IN THE RAIN!



Let me add... any road in Boston

PS: I LOVE Boston, but when I visit there I do not rent a car.

May I ask what's the big deal about renting a car in Boston? I did it a couple days ago and didn't notice anything unusual.

BTW, I just learned that the drivers in Milwaukee, WI might be the most aggressive that I have come across, outside of CA.
