When it came out earlier this year that Conoco Phillips wanted to ship this equipment, it sounded like the needle scratching across a record. Because people were thinking “Hey this might not be the best Idea” then it was announced “Hey we want to do it in the Late Fall early winter.” In the high mountains of Idaho winter does hit early. In fact sometimes it hits so early that kids go trick-or-treating in their snow suits to stay warm. ... Like I said earlier, Highway 12 is a beautiful drive in the summer, lazy river, lots of shades with some hot springs you can easily hike to. In the winter however it becomes one of the gnarliest, hair raising, spine tingling adventures you can imagine. It is narrow, windy, and sometimes when it is snowing you don’t know where the edge of the road ends, and the beginning of the high canyons start. I have been opposed to this little idea ever since it was announced because if anything went wrong it could seriously damage the canyon/No Cannot Have! More here.

Question: Have you ever traveled Highway 12?
