AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiieeeeeeee! You again. I thought I'd paid my thereapist sufficiently to deal with that. Eh. Well. O.k.

Fateful turnoff

They got "lost" at 'Camp Howard'.

Somebody wasn't paying attention. You tell me when the vehicle wasn't capable of "reversing" its path. If nothing else this is a blight on Saab.

I am sure there is a reverse on a Saab.

That is not the point.

I can show you roads on the East Coast in terrain a lot more forgiving than what you find in the Rockies that you will have a hard time backing down in the dark on dry land.

Most vehicles steer very poorly in mud or snow when backing. Much harder than when going forward. I should say that they are more difficult to steer with accuracy.

On a narrow mountain road, in snow, in the dark...a wonderful opportunity for disaster.

And then all of the Monday Morning QB's would be talking about that idiot who slid off the side of the mountain in the dark. Anyone should know better than that.

As a matter of fact, I do recall reading that he could not turn around where he got stuck without opening his door to look back.

Snow on the back window, condensate on the inside, narrow crooked road and you suggest he should have backed out?

I don't think so.

Good.

I grow on certain people. I went to this charm school where I learned publick relashuns. Stick around.
