I think the country road etiquette would just about have to be universal - if people were pigheaded about it, eventually they would all be weeded out, and only those willing to share the road would be left driving. (Maybe that's what happened in Scotland? Natual selection?)Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461386564339879940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014005277153555622.post-37945405592272131462014-08-13T23:38:31.352-05:002014-08-13T23:38:31.352-05:00I remember the first time we drove through the Hig...I remember the first time we drove through the Highlands of Scotland. Our first time driving on the left, and they were all one lane roads. But no worries. There were pullouts every 1/4 or so, and it seemed every other car on the road was determined to pull out before we did -- super considerate. So it is universal in the countryside, of most countries.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239798951473493987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014005277153555622.post-37844077925007360482014-08-13T03:46:46.929-05:002014-08-13T03:46:46.929-05:00Absolutely, you must get right on those hills. If...Absolutely, you must get right on those hills. If it's not a load of hay, it's a rancher with a stock trailer of cattle, and he WILL be in the center of road (avoiding the soft shoulders). Those fellows were the reason I stored my Harley in town. Sooner or later, I was going to meet one on a hill or on a curve and going in the ditch on a Harley would not be conducive to any form of fun! Most people are considerate in Kansas, and that's a great thing about living here, isn't it?Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461386564339879940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014005277153555622.post-42260285340785043992014-08-12T22:02:34.904-05:002014-08-12T22:02:34.904-05:00I like to get in those "smooth" mud-pack...I like to get in those "smooth" mud-packed grooves during Springtime, but when I see that hill on the horizon I get my butt over to the right as you never know what might on the other side of that hill. A close encounter with a rancher and his big pickup loaded with straw bales could be quite an impact.<br />Some of the locals out there get so use to my picture shooting they slow down on dusty days and that I really appreciate.Donhttp://tallgrasspixels.netnoreply@blogger.com
