Try to avoid it if at all possible.<BR/><BR/>I typically run into the wild 'n' wooly stuff on the run back from Laconia every summer - there's just something about being > 2 hours from home base that brings out the storm clouds <I>every single year</I>...<BR/><BR/>It's hairy enough around town.

Oh, and tires so thin, it makes you wonder how it has any traction at all. ;) <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm glad and relieved you made it home safe and sound, but you never mentioned if the contents of said cardboard box did or not. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I love how you and Tam have such a command of of the English language.
