I still waiting to see a Cadillac Escalade "pick-up" driving down the road with a load of firewood, or a refrigerator in the back.
Actually I have not seen one anywhere in the woods except on the main roads.
that boom boom boom bong bong bong sound coming down the road you can hear them miles away
I'm looking forward to an exciting summer. A bridge is to be replaced starting in July on the main route to Mt. St Helens. So, traffic will be detoured over a mostly paved one lane road with turnouts. It has some nice dropoffs into a river. We'll have log trucks and crummies on it along with the tourii. We have Darwin Award Nominated Crotch Rocketeers who love to hug the curves on that road. We average one death a year for them. Last year's award winner clipped his head on the mirror of an oncoming pickup and crashed into a rock wall. Many are injured in trying to win the Darwin. I'm wondering how they'll fare on the detour. I'm toying with the idea of painting arrows on the road and the word TURNOUT. We'll see. We get all the fancy cars and pickups on that road. Should be interesting!

Up here we get a few, people move up (From away) buy a little seaside retreat, and figure they are in the wilds and need a 4wd. It's more the Mercedes crowd though SUV's. I have to say though, a guy down the road from me has a Merc Unimog. I'd love to have that babee for a firewooder! Must have 2 feet of clearance.
LOL, yep jokes.
One of the crews set up on the volcano road last year, discovered that more cars got out of the way of their crummy when the front bumper was all cattywumpus. They said cars just saw them behind and pulled right over. They had a very savvy hooktender/driver. He noticed that their Oregon license plates had expired so carefully bent them up so the tags were hidden so the boss wouldn't have to make an unexpected trip home for renewel. That worked too.

Gotta get going, the moneypit trailer/addition is getting a sample pulled off for demolition this morning. Tomorrow is the big day. There's an excavator sitting at the bottom of the road. I'll take some pictures.
