Congrats on finishing and getting your book published. I'm looking forward to buying a copy.
That's interesting you mention the sand, and Road and Bridge dept. I rode Lookout Mt. on Wednesday and the road was covered with sand. I never saw it so bad. Even the cage drivers at Buffalo Bills were pissed. I called up Jefferson County Road and Bridge at Lookout and complained. The guy was a motorcyclist, but said he had to sand for the cars. I then called up their main office at Golden Gate. They said they didn't have to, but they liked to sweep up the sand by three days after a storm to reduce the brown cloud. I rode Lookout yesterday and it actually had been swept. Why don't you run for public office? We could use some motorcyclist lawmakers.
