I'll indulge you a little bit on the terror in the hills. I was told a story by a west virginia trucker one night. Here is what I remember of it... I a-fixing to come across that dar sandstone. If you aint nevah seen dat sandstone you will someday. One night it was raining at the bottom and snowing at the top and fog in between. First thing I noticed was a bad wheel on the way to the truckstop near the line at a place called sulphur springs. I see folks on the side saying bad wreck down there, they be souls seeking god tonight. I passed them seeing it aint dinner time yet and this rig has to go. Long grade towards the bottom the brakes start to smoke and fade. The more air I spent on the hot and hotter brakes the less stopping I had. Shifting the cigar to the other side and seeing the big red low air light as the broken springs fell away in a shower of sparks... a CB call came in.. please mr. trucker stop your rig before you hit that wreck at the bottom on sulpher springs my family is still stuck in that car. Wal.. Ive driven many a year and seen many a problem to be solved. This one jest calls for some sacrifice. No brakes, rig on fire, steepining grade and a failing engine from being over driven by the tranny to hold it down on the roadway. The broken concrete hammers at the wheel making it hard to hold the increasingly unstable rig. The lights of the police, ambulance shows on the windshield in the glare of the fire behind my cab advancing towards me. I need to decide if I will go to the right and into the great river 300 feet below or to the left and hit the rocks off the side... what to do?? what to do.. As I hear the last pleas of the people moments before deciding my own fate I wake up in a load of sweat and fear. Thru the window can be seen the sulpher springs truckstop where drivers are filing into the restruant for breakfast on the faint dawn of a sunrise. I suppose you know the story of sulphur springs... as I said if you see Sandstone get ready for the springs because it will get you someday.
