Took 1-1/2 hours for the brakes to cool down. Luckily, the road leveled out right after the place we stopped.TravelBug-Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974719934652737928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567813748978904720.post-15408235380028742772013-03-18T13:28:18.958-03:002013-03-18T13:28:18.958-03:00Glad you made it safe and sound, that bridge pictu...Glad you made it safe and sound, that bridge picture looked wild!Kevin and Tracy (a.k.a. kcgaz)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11240341668683950383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567813748978904720.post-50318783813113649632013-03-18T11:30:12.577-03:002013-03-18T11:30:12.577-03:00So glad you guys are okay.

In some places it is one lane with really sharp curves. It is deeply rutted and will take you about 2 1/2 hours to go the 25 or so miles. We did it once in the truck and said never again. And I'm sure glad nobody was hurt in that motorhome.Jim and Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108729200561576870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567813748978904720.post-48889061396678178352013-03-18T11:28:08.138-03:002013-03-18T11:28:08.138-03:00I like yo check Google earth when travelling new r...I like yo check Google earth when travelling new roads , it tells you the elevation so that we can avoid it.<br />You can also keep the engine running much cooler with the air conditioning shut off and heater turned on, Not the most comfortable but helps the engine run cooler. We need to do that in gas coach sometimes.<br />Safe travels.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567813748978904720.post-63404362044796046062013-03-18T11:11:50.918-03:002013-03-18T11:11:50.918-03:00Whoa is right!

We were up in that Globe area a few years ago with our Santa Fe car & I thought it looked pretty mountainous. Made a mental note at the time not to bring the rig into that area. Best of luck, take it slow & soon you will be up to I-40 & clear sailing.Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567813748978904720.post-2539638032218351542013-03-18T01:15:42.007-03:002013-03-18T01:15:42.007-03:00That doesn't sound fun at all.

The one by Globe is in there too. We've avoided it! Hopefully the rest of your trip will be uneventful.Wanderin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/18099094689836499939noreply@blogger.com
