Last year at GFM we drove up to the top of the mountain thru that S
curve. It must be a 15-20% grade at the curve. As we reached it, a
25 or 30 foot long delivery truck, not a van but a HEAVY truck with
dual rear wheels, was trying to make it up the grade. We watched him
try to keep the truck on the road as he negotiated the turns.
When we got to the shop at the top of the mountain, he was delivering
ice cream bars! I really couldn't believe that the guy made this trip
in that truck just to refill a 2 foot by 4 foot ice cream cooler in
the shop. I was uncomfortable driving my van up and down the curve!
Sounds so very familiar -- I remember on my trip (late July last year)
watching with fascination (and photographing, of course!) a bright red
Coca-Cola truck goin' up there last summer. I do appreciate the
dedication of the people who deliver those necessities up there ... :-)
