Oh man, if you want adventure on the highway, come to "Colorful Colorado." Just nothing beats "ma and pa Kettle" from Kansas (or Texas) driving their monster RV over one of Colorado's mountain roads. The moment they notice they're on a road grade of over 1.5% they freeze. Its 25mph from then on because they're in the MOUNTAINS, and it sure don't look like Kansas to them. Now, most of the roads in Colorado are two lane highways with the exception of I-25 and I-70, so you ARE going to meet "Ma and Pa" on a road near you - "meet" as in glimpsing the top of their RV 20 cars ahead of you as they force everyone to travel 25mph across open country on highway 160 or 50. Sooner or later "Ma and Pa" will encounter that most dreaded of Colorado phenomena - the raindrop! ACK! We're in the mountains and a raindrop hit our windshield and I bet it was really a snowflake and you know what happened to the Donner party (who cares that they were in California?), so NOW we're all cruising along at 15mph just to be on the safe side, don't you know?
"Ma and Pa" have inspired me to feats of highway daring and adrenelin rushes inspired by a combination of fear and rage as I finally pull out of the parade and pass 15 cars at once on a blind curve with no guardrails and 1,000 foot drop off's on either side. Hell, even death is preferable to even one more mile of this! On the next blind curve I pass the final 5 cars including Ma and Pa in their RV and I turn round in the driver's seat to flip them the bird and pull back into my lane just in time to avoid annilation by a semi going 70 mph in the other lane. I then spend the rest of my drive taking mountain curves at 80 mph, glorying in my freedom. AS for the rest of you, please vacation somewhere else. You REALLY don't want to take the chance of encountering ME on the road.
