Out of Control…..

Driving along on our last RV trip out West we were, as always, taken by the beautiful scenery and jaw-dropping vistas unfolding as we moved state to state. Wisconsin has its own beauty but we don't have canyons and we don't have mountains. Mountains and canyons bring another level to roadside scenery.

Driving curving roads up and down mountains adds another level of excitement (or should I say TENSION!) to the trip. But we love it out there and hopefully will go west-ish again before too long.

One thing we noticed were the runaway truck ramps. We've seen these before, but never paid much attention. But driving the RV down the road and keeping her under control I became more aware of just how important the brakes are. And what if they fail!???

Good grief……if you were a trucker and your brakes failed I know you'd be glad to see this sign and the gravel up-grade just ahead. But just driving past this was scary enough for me! I could see how the bed of gravel would slow and then stop the truck….but then what??? How do you get back down??

Maybe driving around flatter Wisconsin most of the year is excitement enough.
