    That pretty much nails it

    Coming down was easy-'cept for one of the fighting teens who gets motion sickness and decided to have chili at the summit. Need I say more?

    I went there one time in my truck. They wouldn't let me drive it, too long! I had no idea, that probably would've been bad!

    Our truck was plenty big enough for me to drive up there with all the traffic coming down.

    The vans that you can take, have special low-gearing in their transmissions. This saves on the brakes using the engine instead.
