Sounds like a good drive, John. Hopefully no

They're not likely to catch you speeding if you have a radar detector. There's little chance for going too fast. For instance look at this...http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&sadd...017777,0.047035
and this...

That's the approach to the summit and the beginning of the descent but it's all pretty nutty.
Average speed is a pretty slow 35 but I wouldn't do that drive much faster. Amazingly windy and huge drop offs with now guard rails in many spots.

Well we might want to wait until it's warmer and drier anyway. At the top of Mt Ham there was snow. On the way down which is the shady side oft he mtn there was water and possibly ice. I was taking it very easy there. If we wait until May I think it would be nearly perfect.
