Ed,
You are right, that's the way the street goes. It has been a few years since I drove on it but it seems like it is steeper than it looks in the video. One would think the morons would know better but they never learn. Always jamming the brakes on and lettin' her fly! I watched that probably 2 dozen times today and also watched a semi just outside the highway 26 tunnel do a slow mo jack knife across 3 lanes into the guardrail. I just sat there and thought that is the EXACT reason I won't work in the winter anymore. Don't want that to happen or have to lay out in the snow hanging iron.=) Called my brother this morning to see how he had been faring during this. He was just coming out of Sutherlin. Surprised me since he has been hauling out of either Tacoma or Aberdeen for the last few years. He didn't want to talk much since he said it was 29* and just started raining. Not a good thing.
