Default Mountain roads 56k nono

I was gonna take more pictures, but I ran out of space. h:

I took a trip up to my uncle's place about 50 miles from here and its got some of the craziest roads, scenaries, etc. Usually I don't have my camera, but today I did.

This is actually a 2 lane road...



Cresting a blind hill, the speed limit is 55 mph... if you go a little too fast you can actually get all 4 wheels off the ground.



Right after that hill is this slight corner, still 55 mph and you can carry the speed through.



The whammo down to 2nd gear for a 25 mph hairpin.



Kinda difficult taking pictures when you are driving alone. h: Yeah yeah you guys probably drive funner roads. :happysad:

Up in Gloucester, Mass. there are 2 lane roads about half the width of that, to let people by you have to drive into the woods. Scary sometimes.

the roads in southeast ohio are amazing. i imagine west virginia is even better. either way, its better than columbus and its flat, grid-pattern roads.

I love roads like that, there's one down here with a hairpin turn like that, but it's going up hill a little to the right (like a nascar track), so you can go like 40 around it cause it holds you in there nicely.

Nope 1994 Honda Accord EX 5 speed.



Hopefully by the end of this year I'll have some money saved up to finish my suspension work.
