  • Mt. Eagle just west of town has two runaway truck ramps on I-24 heading to Chattanooga.  It always smells of burning brake parts on that section of road.  I have never seen one go in but have seen them 2 feet deep in gravel waiting for recovery wreckers to arrive.

    I wonder how much that costs.

    I remember when we went on a short vacation in 1986 to the Uniontown PA/Ohiopyle/Ft Necessity area smelling my truck's clutch smoking going up some of those hills there.

    They had a few runaway truck ramps there...... always nice when you're downshifting and smelling clutch.   Oh and we stayed at the budget Hopwell Motel across from the then HoJos and just down the street from a Pizza Hut at the base of one of those memorable inclines.  Memories.
