Seriously though.....81 isn't a bad road.....if you get rid of the rest of the traffic. :crossbones:
No 81 isn't that bad at all. Up near Wilkes Barre, right before it there is a nice little grade with some curves.

As I sit looking all around,
Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
The answers are there,
But I do not know where.
Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
Are all I have so it seems.
The future I do not know,
So all I can do is take it slow.
But I do know it will work out,
So I wait and watch without a doubt

a couple days ago, my parents were heading back to North Carolina, going through Fancy Gap, there was a truck in the last Runaway truck ramp being pulled out...

Though not as long or steep, I really think a lot of these east coast mountain roads are much worse then out west. Take NC, WV or VA, there are some nasty roads with some crazy curves on grade, now they arent as steep or long as say I70 or I80 across CO, WY, UT, etc, but atleast those western passes are much newer and better designed, the curves aren't usually as crazy, or are designed much much better.
