Back Road Driving by
John Lucas[_3_]
Sometimes, avoiding the interstates can be fun, educational, and even
hairy.
My wife and I used to go from our home in So. IL to our condo in Gulf
Shores, AL by way of the interstates. In 1998 we decided to avoid the
interstates and take only older routes and have done the same since on
all trips....

Chains ever required on CA Hwy 58? by
spamtrap1888
Hopefully this is a dumb question to which the answer is no, but I may
have to get from Bakersfield to Victorville next week. All I know
about Victorville is that the Roy Rogers museum is closed. I know they
don't make you chain up over the Grapevine, but that's all that I know.

Good roads in the stereotypical communist country were only for the use

How dumb do you have to be by
N8N
to run someone off the road while driving a vehicle with a company
name, phone number, and vehicle number printed on it?
I wrote the info down, although I'm still on the fence as to whether
to actually call or not.
