[RC] signal mountain - oddfarm

Lisa, is it possible you pulled up the "W" road onto Signal Mountain? No
way anyone can do that in anything but a 2 horse and I would say that was
impossible except I know someone who got one stuck on the rock walled
hairpin turn on it and know they didn't back it back down so much have
made it up. It's the shortcut up that mountain from Chattanooga but was
built for mule wagons during the war and hasn't been improved other than
paving. If you made it up that, that'd make 2 people ever.

 
I couldn't tell you Angie, what road it was. If the sweat from my brow wasn't blinding me, then I just had my eyes closed. Now when I see a description of "switchbacks" I think DEATHTRAP!  When I see "steep grade" I think DEATHTRAP!  I was in a 3 horse slant with a Lance camper on my truck. There was NO ROOM for passing. All I know is that whenever I see or hear the words "Signal Mountain" I get the sweats and wet my pants.
 
It's OK, I'm in therapy. But I can't even go on the kiddie rollercoaster rides anymore because of that stupid mountain. :}
