False EAS Notification?

yeah, that is a spooky road. there's still no guard rail either.

All you do is look down and get sick to your stomach!

[lioness]

i am very afraid of most heights. this is definitely not a road i enjoy taking ever. i'm lucky enough to only traveled it a couple of times.

There is a similar route coming down from Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Germany. Only big enough for one vehicle to go up or down the mountain. They have designed special "skinny" buses to make the trips. I was sick to my stomach by the time we got to the tops.

Probably more VWs at the bottom of that one.

LOL. That's for sure. It was scary. I was trying really hard not to look.

There is a road called the Akatarawa Road that wends its way from Upper Hutt to Waikanae at the bottom of the North Island. It has a cliff all the way along one side, and a precipice all the way along the other, and no guard rails. I went along it once in a Mazda 626, which is'nt a big car thank goodness. On the way, I met an impatient man who drove his car up on to a ridge of asphalt at the very edge of the precipice, and clipped my door mirror on his way past. He made it, which was just as well as I wouldn't have wanted to do the mountaineering required to rescue him if he'd gone over.

I now drive a bigger car, and I flatly refuse to use that road.

Mt Washington is another fun drive.

[lioness]

hey dai, how many people have crashed off the top of there?

[Trumpetmaster]

Hey Lioness,
That's a morbid question.

[lioness]

why... thank you!

[Trumpetmaster]

I guess from reading the horror movie thread you like SPLAT................. messy messy

[lioness]

yeah, i love all that stuff... splat, gore, thrilling, spooky-scary and sometimes just down right grotesque. Texas Chainsaw has been one of my all time favorites.

4:26 am???? TM, what time to you get to work in the mornings?????!!!!!

[Trumpetmaster]

Lioness,
I usually arrive at 6AM EST
Have my Coffee (need that!)
Get things in order for the day.
I get more done between 6-9 than 9-5.

[lioness]

oh! your post says '04:26 AM' i guess that reflected to MY time over here? 6am is still waaaay to early for me. i'm definitely not a morning meow.

[Trumpetmaster]

The early bird catches the worm.
Just have to look out for cats ready to pounce!

[lioness]

don't worry... this one won't even open her eyes until the sun at least comes up!!!
