   WV has some good ones too. The problem isn't the road itself but most of   
   the truck traffic is coal haulers that wear a 12' hole through the   
   hardwoods. At 13' and change it tends to be rough on clearance lights.   
      
   The west has its traps too, mostly long, long grades. Coming off Donner   
   Pass on the CA side there are billboards giving OJT. I gave instruction to   
   one poor soul on the road down from Flagstaff. On the final grade to Camp   
   Verde I told him to let her roll. He might be going 90 by when he passed   
   Camp Verde but by the time he got up the grade on the other side he'd be   
   down to 27 mph with cool brakes.   
      
   We had Jakes but a lot of the guys from the eastern didn't.
