Route to Convention 2005

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Having personal experience just this past Tuesday, be very careful on 
this road. I was nearly taken out by a semi truck (not a coal truck) on 
a blind inside curve, he was over the center line by a foot and a half, 
if the van I was driving had a rear bumper that stuck out, it would 
have been gone, it was that close.

Pretty much from Gilbert west on 52 is rough driving, and not very 
rail-scenic
