"20 miles," Mike said to himself. "How bad could it be?"
Picture this: a one-lane road with pitifully small turnouts scraped from the granite mountainside at irregular intervals. Sometimes, not even that. And innumerable blind corners. And, not to mention its roller coaster trick of going up a rise leaving one unable to see if a vehicle is coming. Of course, all of this is mitigated—somewhat mitigated—by the awe-inspiring Sierra scenery. Needless to say, Mike, while driving his car, couldn’t look at the scenery.
However, Mike did take a number of photos wanting to communicate the wonders of the Kaiser Pass road. As luck would have it, turning one corner he came upon a massive garbage truck heading in his direction. Mike quickly backed up, squirming his Infiniti into a tiny little turnout space; the truck was just able to get by, then Mike turned and took its photo.
