That’s terrible...I never liked the 101 in CA - my husband used to say, “look down there” and I’d yell - “Don’t you dare look!” We never traveled UP on it so he was never on the side to look DOWN - always going home to S. California so I was on that side....Suppose he was trying to tell me something?

Thanks for the link..Really sad....

When we lived in SoCal, my name for the 101 was “The 101 Death Ride”. And that was just because of the drivers and traffic. I’ve never been on any parts that were hugely mountainous with switchbacks and steep drop-offs. Sounds bad.

I did the Alcan Hwy. in 1970 and that was a terrifying experience, so I can imagine how bad it could’ve been where this family was traveling.
