    I can confirm. Not even loved ones make that drive easy. The Rockies are hard to drive over. Fucking beautiful, but scary

      Those passes are an affront to the gods. Man was never meant to traverse them in a pleather seat with climate control.

      Ooh yeah that part going down Eastward past Vail is a hell of a nightmare drive. That road needs to be repaved every year with their rough Winters, even still the ruts in the road will keep trying to throw you into the next lane, while you’re trying so hard to stay in your own lane, and the ruts in the road sound like you burst a tire. It’s two hours of white knuckle driving.

        It was Montana westward past Yellowstone. I spent my life in the loving embrace of just west of the Appalachians and so I thought that since I’ve done my share of driving through Kentucky it would be bad but bearable. Then it started snowing at waist height in late spring. I wasn’t prepared for that.
