Been up and down that hill lots of times since I was a kid. Saw a motor home burn to the ground after it backfired on the way up. My dad always had to stop and use the water barrels that they put out on the side of the road because his car was an old POS.

Interesting story..........to me at least.
When I was a kid my best friend was about 3 years older than I. Things weren't real good at home so I hung out with him alot.
All the kids in that family were wild drivers or at least ones that pushed the limits. I knew this as a young teen.
So he says to me, "Hey, do you want to run up Cabbage and look around?" I thought sure, why not. I didn't know what it was. We just cruised around alot.
So we drive up the old Cabbage which is to the east I guess of the freeway. I don't remember much other than he absolutely terrified me. You know where you start repeating things over and over again while rocking your head! Yeah, that bad.
I made him drive down the freeway on the way home. I was screwed up in the head that even that was terrifying.
And no, neither of us drank or did anything else like that, still don't.
Wow the memories. Glad to not be there now.......
Bad night that one.
