Not so fond memories of that road. In 1971 my GF (now wife of 42 years) and I took a cross country camping trip in a VW hippy bus. After stopping to take a photo on the Continental Divide, we got back into the vehicle only to find that the pilot bushing had frozen on the trans input shift, rendering the clutch useless. So we ground gears up and down the Salt River Canyon until limping into Globe, AZ, which fortunately had a VW dealership. Even better, the service manager was a car guy, and after depositing our hurting bus in his shop, he not only put us up at his home for the night, but took us on a tour of all the hot cars in Globe.
