Description:
When customers discover that I am from Kansas, they often say, "Kansas? If you come from Kansas, can you tell me about Yamaguchi?" But when they heard my story, they let me Some slack. (By the way, did you know that there was a researcher who had too many government grants. Did they think Kansas is actually flatter than pancakes?)
When I was a kid in the early 1960s, my parents owned a 16-foot Mobil Scout travel trailer. We towed the trailer with a 1962 Chevrolet in all parts of the western United States and Canada. The Chevrolet engine was 283 cubic inches and the train speed was third gear. So I learned to love the mountains, and I learned to love the open space on our great land. With the small trailer and reliable Chevrolet, we have never encountered any problems with climbing or degrading

The printed version of the Mountain Directory books has nearly 240 pages of text and color maps. All 240 pages are in the downloadable version of the Mountain Directory e-book. There is no omission. In the printed version, the location of Yamaguchi is marked with a yellow triangle on a color map. In the eBook version, you can click the yellow triangle and the text that describes the location appears.
4. United States 33
(located between Harrisonburg, Virginia, and Judy Gap, West Virginia)
There are three peaks along U.S. Highway 33. The Eastern Peak is located between Laurie Springs in Virginia and Brandywine in WV. The east side is 4 miles and a slope of 8 to 9%. On the west side is a 4% slope of 4% and half, both of which have continuous sharp curves and hairpin turns. There are two lanes on both sides of the highway.
The middle peak is located between Oak Flat and Franklin, West Virginia. On the east side of the mountain is a curve of 2 miles and a speed of 25 miles per hour. About a third of a mile of mildness lies to the west. Most of its length is 4 to 5%. There are some sharp curves near the bottom. This road is double lane on both sides of the hillside.
The West Summit is located between Franklin, West Virginia and Judy Gap. This is a stable 9% score of 5 miles. Both are sharp curves and curved hairpin lanes. Be cautious on this road.
There is an old saying among truck drivers. "There are two driving factors - those who are in trouble on the hillside, and those who will be in trouble." Unfortunately, this also applies to many RVers. Trucks and RVs have similar problems with the weight of the terrain, engine power and braking.
Imagine your own RV going down. You don't know that there is such a long, steep slope on this highway. What a surprise! Things are not going well. There is a white direction grip on the steering wheel. The engine did not stop all the weight, the brakes smelled hot, and even smoking, you stepped up on the brake pedal, but the speed increased. You can see more mountains in front of you. Your mind is playing through all available options, and none of them are good. "I must do something," you said, "or I don't plan to do it." These options include: run into the rock wall, turn over and hit the trees, or see if you can make the next curve and take it out . You choose the last option. If you are lucky, you can put it at the bottom. When you are waiting for your heart to stop impacting, you pull it over. You wipe the sweat off your face. You notice that your shirt is soaked, your mouth is dry, and your hand is trembling. You are thinking, "If I knew it would be like this..."
Maybe your rig is having difficulty climbing steeply. In the 1990s, the grade was very steep and you could barely climb it once. The temperature of the engine and gearbox is rising. How far is the top of this mountain? You don't know if it's a mile or ten miles. Something smells hot. What should I do? Pull it down and calm down? However, all the momentum has disappeared. Can you even start again? You hope you have taken off your car behind the trailer. If you are lucky, you can do it next time. You want to know how many thousands of new engines and transmissions will be.
In the past few years, we have heard many stories about very expensive maintenance-driven train components. Sometimes the rig is completely lost. A highway patrol in Oregon told us that in the summer, an average RV burns to the ground on a weekly basis, while trying to climb Cabbage Hill at I-84 east of Pendleton. In the event of a fire, the nearest fire department may be far away. When they arrive, there is nothing they can do. Just drop the ash.
Many people feel that Dongshan's performance is not as serious as Xishan's. Obviously this is because the elevation of the eastern states is not high. But merely ascension is not a problem - it is altitude changes that make grades potentially dangerous. If all other factors are the same, then the level from 4000's to 1000's over 10 miles is no different from the level from 10,000's down to 7000's below 10 miles. Either way, you have 3,000 miles of altitude change over 10 miles. (This example will result in an average 10-mile average of nearly 6%.) Most of the western states score within 6%. Most of the eastern states scored 8, 9, or 10%, and sometimes even higher. The Eastern Conference results are usually shorter, but not always. A quick look through the Eastern Book will show over 50 grades, between 7 and 10%, and lengths from 4 to 7 miles. There are other more challenging ones. The road to the top of Whiteface Mountain in New York is 8 to 10 miles and 8 miles long. Truck drivers do not need to use this road, but RVs are allowed. Near Cumberland, Maryland, there is a mountain on I-68 that is 13 miles long and covers an area of 6%. Across the Blue Ridge Parkway on Highway 181 in North Carolina, the southbound is down 11 miles, from 6% to 10%. Most of them are 8 to 9%. These ranks are as dangerous as the ranks of the western states.
From
The Colorado portion of Mountain Directory West:
VAIL PASS Height. 10603'(in Vail, I-70 to the east of CO)
The length of the West side of Verbasis is approximately 10 miles, starting at milestone 189 of I-70. There is a warning sign for a westbound vehicle half a mile west of the summit - "45 mph speed limit for vehicles over 30,000 pounds." And "8 miles down the steep slope - the truck stays in a lower gear." The next mile is rolling hills. Then there is a sign - "7 Miles 7% Achievement".
The drop is stable at 7%, and the first out-of-control truck ramp has 3 billboards, about 185 miles or 4 miles from the top of the hill. The escape ramp undulates on the right side. The second out-of-control truck ramp is approximately Milestone 182, 3 miles from the first escape ramp and approximately 7 miles from the top of the hill. Before reaching it there are several suggested signs, it is a steep slope to the right. Do not be fooled when the slope eases after the second escape ramp. It will soon fall back to 7% until the 21⁄2 miles or approximately 179 miles after the second escape ramp will reach its lowest point.
The decline from the summit of Wolpaer to the east continued almost to 11 miles under the Frisco exit but declined and was not stable. There are short and steep sections, followed by short sections of smaller grades. The second half of the decline is a 3-4% level. There is no escape ramp on the east side of the channel.
Although every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the maps contained in this book, it is almost impossible to include all the necessary details on these small maps. We recommend using these maps in combination with larger, more detailed road maps. In most cases, passages and hills are described as falling. In other words, go down one direction from the top of the mountain and then down from the top of the mountain and describe the pass in the other direction. This directory does not claim to include every steep grade. In fact, thanks to the huge areas we are trying to cover, we can guarantee that we may have missed something. Sometimes the percentage cited is an estimate, and many times it is based on road signs or information provided by the road department. This book does not grade achievements or achievements according to difficulty. A wide range of vehicles and equipment. For similarly equipped vehicles, a hill that is very difficult for a car may not be a problem at all. The driver's judgment is crucial for deciding which hills to avoid. The purpose of this book is not to prevent drivers from going where they like. Just tell them what they are likely to encounter and encourage them to ensure that their equipment is well maintained. The brakes must be in good working condition and properly adjusted, and use the engine and gearbox as much as possible to slow down the vehicle, thereby saving braking and maintaining sufficient cooling to maintain its braking force. The engine's cooling system should be well repaired to prevent overheating during the climb. Turning off the air conditioner during the climb may help, if necessary, turning on the heater will help dissipate the heat from the engine.
From
North Carolina Mountain Directory East:
I-40 (between Montenegro and Old Fort of North Carolina)
According to the law, all trucks except pickups and trucks must park at the top of the mountain and Read the news about the decline of eastbound. The hilltop is near milestone 67 on the eastern side of Heishan. The rating is 6% of 5 miles. This is a strong 6%. There are three out of control truck ramps, all of which are short sand piles and finally sand piles. There is also a mile level after the last escape. Westbound dropped about 6% to 1 mile.
There are many aftermarket equipment that can help heavy vehicles in the mountains. Some people will help by increasing the climbing horsepower. These include turbines and exhaust systems. Other equipment, such as an engine braking system, can help during descent. Some products, such as gear separators and auxiliary transmissions, can help during climbs and descents. Many of these products also improve fuel economy (while providing more horsepower) and reduce wear on the drivetrain.
The main factors involved in braking overheating are the length of the grade, the steepness of the slope, and the speed and weight of the vehicle. Reducing any of them can increase the likelihood of going down without overheating. Most of the time, only one type of driver can change is speed. Decreasing speed may keep you alive. Remember this old saying: "You can go down a thousand times, but it's too fast."

(Route 22, west of Wyn Jackson, Wyoming)
The Teton Pass continues 10% on both sides of the summit. An unusual feature is that the escape truck ramp on the east side of the pass can only be used when an escape truck crosses the oncoming traffic lane. Weight limit is 60,000 pounds.
Downhill West Downhill starts with a 25 mph speed limit and a truck warning sign - "steep slope - 10% of the next 3 miles - use a lower gear." This level warning Repeat after a mile. About 2.5 miles from the summit venue, the grade dropped to 6-7%, and the speed limit increased. This level lasts about 3-4 miles and it's easy to get around the Idaho line.
The decline of the eastbound top of the Teton Pass begins with a warning sign for the truck - "steep slope - 10% for the next 5 1/2 miles - use a lower gear. "There is a 20 mph curve near the top. About a third of a mile from the summit venue is a sign - "Escape the truck ramp - 2 miles to the left." This warning repeats several times as you approach the ramp. To use ramps, you must cross the reverse path of traffic. Ramp uphill
The second runaway truck ramp is about 1 mile behind the first one. It is also on the left and is a steep slope. At this point the grade began to ease to about 6-7%, and the speed limit increased. The hill continued to reach Wilson, about five and a half miles from the summit.

Southern California Mountain Directory in the South:
CAJON PASS Elev. 4190'
(I-15, South of Victorville, California)
The decline on the northern side of the Cajon Pass is rare. The southbound route begins with a warning sign - "down 12 miles downgrade - truck check brake" and "truck speed limit 45 mph" and "truck ratio 5 mile" and "next 4 mile 6% rating" and "escape truck ramp 21⁄2 miles "
grade may be slightly higher than 6% of the escape ramp, it will decelerate within a short distance, and then return to 6% until it reaches the truck ratio. After scaling down, 3 miles fell to about 2-3%, then fell to 5 miles and added another 4 miles.

Large vehicles may want to avoid this 18-mile segment. It passes through four peaks, including multiple 15 mph hairpin turns and more 20 mph and 25 mph curves. Regardless of your direction of travel, you must climb up and descend some very steep hills. Most of the scores are 7 to 9%, but many parts must be 12% or more, and some last for almost a mile.
