Huh. Afraid of heights? I wood go up in a heartbeat! Heights bother me a little bit. "Like I know I am going to fall off" a little bit.

Not a heights guy, did some roofing when I was younger and hated it. You should see me riding in the mountains.

I'm the same way in the mountains.

I had a bad experience with the National Guard while driving a 5-Ton Dump Truck with less than a month of experience. The truck had no emergency break and the front driver side duels were flat. It took us an hour to climb the mountain which became a goat path with switchback after switchback after switchback. By the time I got to the top of the mountain with the rest of the trucks, my feet were bouncing off the pedals. Ever since then it has F'd with me on mountain roads.
