Didn't stop to think that I'd be driving thru that stuff on my way east but boy did I. It gets so thick at times that you can't see the edge of the road and, in these mountains where we don't have many guard rails, you have to really be careful. It could be a long way down, as you can see from this next picture.
Yup - that ain't no illyusion - that thar be a Tennessee hill. Actually this is state rte 127 going north from Jamestown toward Kentucky. If you look kinda close you'll notice the road curves to the left but then it goes into an "S" curve and you're still going down hill at the same angle. Some of the log and rock haulers have an exciting time going down this thing. Two days ago they had this roadway blocked and were rerouting traffic. I assume someone overshot one of those curves and wound up going over the mountain. We'll be reading about it in the newspaper if they did. Hope no one was hurt. Later
