Mountain Driving with 1995 42', 42,000 lb. Blue Bird

[Rob Robinson]

Ron one of the things Greg said really rings true.........'don't worry about
the impatient four wheelers' ....stay on a steady course, let them buzz
around you and if they don't like your speed tough. You'll find the four
wheelers don't like being behind you either and will do some pretty crazy
things to avoid it. You are expected to do whatever is reasonable to avoid
contact but at some cases your signal lights become a warning and not a
request. Drive with your eyes way way way down the road. Further than you
normally do in a car.
