#13 is so true. :) Our driveway is a hill with a 90 degree turn at the top. One instinctively wants to slow down for the turn, but in the winter you have to go fast or you'll never make it up the hill. And you don't really want to back down and try again because there's a steep drop-off on both sides.
ReplyDeleteWow! That does sound challenging! I'm very glad you've never gone over the drop-off :)
