As close as I've ever come to dropping the LIKE

 - taking pictures.
old GRINNELL MILL now a B&B


Past the mill - going up.





I've been on this little very steep snake of a road many times.
I know they aren't kidding about the proper speed



Coming down, at the bottom - THE very tightest corner - walking speed nearly - I met a giant Koogler trash truck coming up like he was driving a  mini cooper!
In that rig - he had no choice but to use all the road.

I swerved, wobbled, didn't drop off the 3" shoulder.....and was past.
No chance to brake.
"That was exciting!"

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.
