I have been going through Ehrenberg but thought what the heck. Old times sake let's take Rice. Friday I rolled into Parker about 6PM just to give a timeline. The road itself is in fantastic shape. Wish all roads in CA were close to as good. I was towing with cruise set at 57MPH knowing I'm going to be getting passed by pretty much everyone. And they did not disappoint. Everyone passed safely ..... until I got close to Vidal. A four runner passed on the solid yellow. As I approached Vidal that 4 runner was sitting at the gas pump. Who buys gas there?? Anyway I pulled along side and said told the driver that people like you are why there are so many deaths out here. The chick sitting shot gun told me to fuck off, gonna kick my ass, bla bla bla. I was like ya right and went on my way.
I just went out there to shake down my boat and check on my RV trailer. Boat ran flawlessly and trailer needs new batteries. I was back on the road Saturday about 1ish. Same deal, cruise set at 57. I stopped counting dangerous passes at 10. There were at least double that. Not all were solid yellow. Some you could see the on coming traffic and they still go for it. Seemed pretty close to me and I hit the brakes hard every time. Many others were clearly in no passing zones. No way could you see what's coming and they pass anyway.
I was blown away at the sheer volume on Saturday. I just don't get it. How could so many people be so reckless with total disregard for others lives??
Anyway, guess it's always through Ehrenberg from now on. As much as I hate the 35MPH zones it's better than dying because of an idiot.
