Thanks for the replies and we are having fun. We did get up to Jerome and we are traveling with another couple so we're in a great big Chevy Suburban. A fun road indeed and I went easy going up, not knowing the road, but coming back down, after a haunted burger, drove a bit faster and "cobra driving" in my mind heard my wife from the backseat saying slow down a$$hole. Selective hearing was engaged and it took 5 or 6 more turns until I kept on my side of the road and dropped 20 mph. Apparently rocket lady didn't like the drop off into the canyon and pretty sure it's a control thing anyway. We were on a tight schedule so took the highway rather than 89, but it really is beautiful country. Hit Bluff, UT, then Durango, now in Albuquerque for balloon fest. I miss the driving and having fun here but can't wait to get home for Fall rides in New England where we turn the wheel every 100 ft or so.
