There is often tell tale signs of a dangerous road ahead.



Up North...roads in the Spring that have Frost restrictions are usually loaded with Bear...ready to bust a Trucker.

:lol: ...only an old grizzly fart like you would notice that. :? :P

But I saw a scene just like this more than once in your neighborhood...only Blackies of course. Many, many times ...I've seen young cubs on the road in the Spring...and the hair on the back of your neck says RUN DUMMY RUN :P

We are getting more and more Bear here again too. We have one that is always knocking over trash cans around town. I remember as a kid...we use to get visited several times a week. It was my job to get outta bed and go out back and bang pots and pans together to chase them away. We had an outdoor outhouse then too. They would tip that over. :evil:

There are more dangers than just hills and curves. Logging and mining roads are fun. Boulders rolling down a hillside, mudslides, Bigfoot...etc.

The Black Bear was eliminated long ago in Texas. In the last few years Black Bears are crossing into Texas from Mexico. We have a growing population along the border in remote areas.

Black bears don't bother me Unless it's in the Spring and the Sow is with Cubs. Don't want to be within 50 miles of that combination.

I've heard from my moms uncle who used to work for the BC government that black bears can actually be worse then grizzlies. He's seen some pretty gruesome stuff.

My nomination for BRUTAL highway is the 502 in northwestern ontario between international falls and dryden.

16% grade! YES SIXTEEN PERCENT. Not very long though. Other then that, the highway is pretty damn narrow and windy. Could be worse though, but that 16% takes the cake.
