Most of the runaway truck ramps are on I-24 coming off of Monteagle Mountain. I've never run that stretch on a motorcycle, but I've probably done it 50+ times in an automobile over the years, and yes that is the stretch Johnny Cash is singing about in the song. I've come over that mountain in the dark with fog so thick you could hardly see much past the hood of the car, but once you top over, there's no place to stop until you hit the bottom so you just hang on and pray that you will make it. One of the things you pray for is that nobody stopped in front of you either, because if they did, you will probably collide with them, and then somebody else will collide with you and, well you get the picture, so just keep going.

Hey, most of us "red necks" are pretty friendly despite the reputation we got in the "Deliverance" movie. I did have a guy that worked for me once that said he wasn't prejudiced against anyone . . . except Yankees.
