It the village of Lenk, in the Bernese Overland. Incidental, everyone who lives there had a Bernese Mountain dog. https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-us/...the-simmental/ |

FWIW, the breeder was really touched by that story and I think that is how we more or less got to choose the puppy we wanted. |

NJ has a default speed limit of 25 MPH urban, 50 rural. Since kids kept stealing the signs from Clinton Road, it fell back to the default 50. I had a lot of fun in the Atom up there as it had been paved for years by then. I may have exceeded 50 at some points . The road is full of unsigned curves, most of which are off-camber and many of which have unexpected blind elevation changes. Here is one of the few decent YouTube videos. Most of them are about hauntings, killer clowns, druid temples, etc. I suggest you run this one at 2x to get a better feel. Of course, I only was at high speeds in the long section in the middle where there are no houses. BTW, I've never seen as much traffic as this video shows. It is rare to see even one other car in the undeveloped areas. They must have been shooting on a weekend. BTW, I have a page of mid-70's pictures here. |

I know Clinton, but grew up in Boonton, Splitrock was much closer to home

Here I was so worried about patching the tire and now it's a non issue ... my Daughter surprised me last weekend by coming home from College for my birthday and it ends up her tire on the ride home shows a low warning ...
No flat but it ends up the same tire now has a HUGE screw in it and a Nail .. Of course I wake up the next morning and even though both the nail and screw were in the center of the tread I replaced the tire ... I guess I don’t have to worry about the patch now. |

For long road trips do you feel a patched tire is safe
Found this in the front passenger side tire today. Inserted a patch and now waiting to confirm it holds pressure.

I think that is just far away from the shoulder enough that you should be fine.
