Truckers News (May 1998)
Many truckers have had the frightening experience of cresting a mountain grade too fast and wondering if they'll be able to stop at the bottom. Richard Miller is one of them. After a thrilling descent into Camp Verde Valley, AZ in 1993, he decided to do something about the lack of information on many mountain grades. The results of his efforts are two excellent resources: Mountain Directory West and Mountain Directory East. Each contains maps showing the location of grades and detailed information about them, including the height of the summit, length and steepness of grades, severity of curves, location of escape ramps, and signage.
