    Throw the automatic in reverse while going downhill and let the engine slow you down. You'll crawl down without needing much in the way of brakes.

    I'm crunching numbers. I had to cancel my RTT order because I'm broke haha I'd have to take the whole trip on the ol credit card and that's just not in my normal principles so basically, it's a really tempting dream for now. BUT, we'll see what I can make happen between now and then.

    IF the VA get's back to me before then (it's been over 2.5 years waiting on them and it should be coming soon) I know for a fact I can make it. Don't hold your breath . . . I'm not. haha

    That's the thing tho..it's looks worse. Cause your looking allllllll the way down but your not right on a direct cliff that is a high as what you see..

    It's an illusion. Happens to rock climbers all the time.

    I think blackbear is gonna be awesome. But I think Morrison is going to be much more technical. Tighter corners and WAY more of them. Think there are only like 3-4 you have to do a 3-4 point turn on on blackbear.


    Hell yes!!!! :cool: I can't wait. I guess you'll be able to tell us right away after Morison too!
