[quote riverdog]Man I hate getting stuck behind a pickup on that road. With no weight in back they bounce all other the place at 1 mph once the road gets rough. Not sure why you wouldn't park and walk to save time[:p]. And seriously if you drive a pick up let those behind you pass. Nothing like a 25 minute drive being stretched into a hour because someone won't spend 10 secs to let you buy. [/quote]
I know just what you mean. I think it is not just pickup trucks though. I think folks with limited experience driving on jeep trails drive up there in moms urban assault SUV or the pickup used for cruising State Street and reach the last mile and a half rock piles and simply do not know what to do on such a road. They then freeze up, go extra slow and indecisively and bash their oil pan and rear differential on twice as many rocks as an experienced off road driver would. Oh well.
The suggestion of parking an ill equipped vehicle (or inexperienced driver) 2 miles before the end of the road is a sound one for many.
