Not real strippers, just not loaded with what most buyers would 
want...on the other hand, if the price is right...

I'm not a big fan of heights, and there are quite a few sections 
where the only thing between you and a 1,000 foot fall is a sharp 
turn to the left. Made me a little nervous...okay, tense as hell!

I am happy to report that a guy in an A3 gave me a nice toot when I 
pulled over to let him buy. Another guy in a VW climbed up my ass and 
didn't even wave when I gave him the room to get by.

And of course there were the two touring cyclists and a couple of 
others out there....one gave me a nice wave after I tailed him (at a 
distance) until it was safe to pass.
