    You forgot to mention that the shoulder is about a foot lower than the asphalt on both sides and that there are guard rails 6" from the edges at times...

    They beat "Disclosure. Disclosure. Disclosure." in our heads here in my Ethics class. It frickin' sucks. I hate being ethical sometimes. I take my final in 45 minutes, thankfully.

    Sssshhhhhhhh! It's the little things in life that are the most memorable, like the thought of rolling a long wheel base "wanna-be" truck (read: Tacoma) and a trailer down the side of a mountain, or when you call the tow-truck he has the Deliverance song playing.

    Here's a video riding up the paved road to Black Bear if you want a preview.

    There was still a lot of sand/slag still on the road a few weeks ago when this was taken.

    May I suggest to throw the easy up in Tunas truck (he's the only one with an excuse), pack your tent on the bike and ride?

    They fixed the road?! Hell that thing looks like a runway now. Disregard my previous statements. Ray Charles could drive a tractor-trailer up there half drunk.

    it's "freshly" paved, but not wider... with a nasty drop off (no shoulder at all) on both sides.

    Ducky, Fe Woman and I are trying to get everything on my trailer and ride up in his truck. She wants to sleep in the comfort of our big tent and on the air mattress. That along with an easy up, lanterns, cooler, barber chair, decompression chamber, water boarding equipment, particle accelerator, Tesla coil and Faraday cage, PA speakers, portable dance floor, strobe and search lights, transmogrifier and other Area 52 paraphernalia require vehicle support.


    As far as the bad road, local intel says its not so bad and that someone is a pussy! We have friends in Hot Springs that we visit regularly and I'm pretty sure if I can somehow survive 209, I can manage your big ole mean road!

    wtf - are you moving in???? :huh shall we put a hot-tub on your spot too? what water temp would you like?

    seriously, we have cold drinking water and lemonade (you can use the handy-dandy cup we give you) and a beer trailer. Each of you is on his/her own bike so you should be able to handle a bigger mattress. And there is electricity (even if it's TN)... that a really fancy thing you can use for lighting. :dealTuna can bring the rest. Problem solved, ride your bike.
