This is a crack up. Moved the family up here 1990. First weekend reading Grizzly letter to editor is about a local explaining how when his headlights were in your backseat it was time to use a turnout. Some things just never change.

Kenai i totally agree w you. Can’t count the times we’ve been stuck behind someone who doesn’t seem to read the SLOWER TRAFFIC USE TURNOUT SIGNs,, last week we were stuck behind someone all the way for Runnimg Springs to lower passing lane. 20/30 cars behind him! He sped up on the straightaways and middle passing lane. Finally got around him at the lower passing lane by using the slow lane… Had to really get it. What morons!

interesting tidbit, but seeing all the new vehicles going really fast uphill; our mechanic says that flooring ot in a vehicle with a cvt uphill takes over 1000 miles of life off of the transmission for every mile going full throttle up the hill. New big truck transmissions also no longer are able to withstand the heat soak of gears and bearings and sees new(er)vehicles all the time with burned out transmissions. We drive vintage 4x4 suburbans and every time going up the hill keep an eagle eye on the tranny pil temp, and pull over if it gets to 220 degrees. Driving max 35-40 mph to keep temps below that warnong line, so of course we have gotten real good at always letting folks pass every turnout.

bullet Kenai on Monday 12 January 2026 - 19:38:21
Hi BNB, I like driving a little faster than some and really appreciate it when folks use the turn outs on 38 since there are not many places to pass, especially down bound. I politely ask with a headlight flash and thank them with a flasher on the hazards. But if I see a train of cars I just give up and resign that it's going to be a slow ride.
bullet BootsNBridles on Monday 12 January 2026 - 18:56:05
Baldwin- funny how everyone becomes the nanny when they drive the mtn! Just pull over and let people drive the speed they are comfortable with- or join the CHP! No one has a chance yesterday- I'm guessing at least half of the cars were visitors and content to drive slowly so we just settled back and did likewise. 😉

What a difference a day makes. Today i went down 38. Right about south fork caught up to the exodus. I was car number 14 in line. I stayed car 14 until Bryant! By that time there were at least 20 (or more) of us going 25mph. Where is CHP when you need them?
