The fun part was the loaded logging trucks which don't really care about let alone even notice tiny cars on "their" roads. Their right of way enforced by sheer gross vehicle weight and seconded by gravity made for a lot of "see any dust? hear anything coming?"
Off Thursday, hope to see less rain and gloom than we've had here - though the last few days have been actually quite spring-like. (packing the Gore-Tex though) |
No loggers here so at least you don't have that worry! But against that, the roads in the hills tend to be narrow and twisty.
Unfortunately it looks like you are heading into "changeable" weather (

Hopefully it will clear up later in your trip - we had quite a bit of sun last week.
Have a nice one, Bob.
