LPPT

I saw them, and was very pleased, I think we should thank them for making us safer up here, Of course when I saw some of the places they had people pulled over I was afraid for their Safety! THANKS PAULDING COUNTY SHERRIF DEPARTMENT!!!

I am so sorry, I started another thread, starting with an apology, I realized after I calmed down that it was innapropriate to have vented my frustration in the accident thread. Again all I can say is that it was wrong to have done so, and I am very sorry. I am very sorry for your loss and the families of the victims.

Before you all jump on Froggie here. Let me tell you my frustration level over this Hwy is up there. There have been times I almost did what he has mentioned because someone passing me was approaching a rise and I know they did not have time if someone where to come over it, Usually though I slow way down to make sure they have more distance and time, but often I think since they made it alright they will just do it again and maybe kill someone. I really think it is time to get together and talk to Mr. Shearin about this. When the highschool is comlpetely open we are goin

This does not surprise me. Maybe we could have our own large signs made up. To be placed at the worse places. Maybe ones where you can change the numbers of fatalities on the sign in that zone. Just like in Florida where they put the big crosses by the rd. Or when Dot puts out signs about how many workers have been killed! Just an idea.

It is not that hard, A handful of folks agree they want to do it. If committed enough we can all chip in a little cash and time to put out flyers and talk to friends and neighbors. The Burnt Hickory Mrthodist churc has been known to allow meetings, especially should a member request it for the sake of the community. A meeting to discuss what we want to accomplish, select people willing and articulate enough to attend the BOC meeting for us. The first step is to get enough concerned people active. Someone can draw up a petition to be signed at the meeting.

If anyone wants to get together and do anything pro active about this situation, you can count on me to help in anyway possible. Perhaps organizing a meeting of concerned people in our area is our first step!

I am so glad none of your peolpe were involved in this, They could have easily been victims to this carelessness. as all of us who use the hwy up here. Frank called me to ask if i knew anything about it, and of course to make sure I was home safe. I guess people that don't live up here will ever really understand the emotional stress we go through up here about friends and loved ones when we hear this. It is because the sad reality is, we feel like it may eventually be us or our loved ones. You can not understand it until you live through the hundreds of near misses we live with ever

As I am reading this thread I am aware of many who are posting that live up here too. If you notice an angry tone to our posting please forgive us. These accidents strike fear in our hearts, this is not a crowded hwy like 92 or 278, or even the southern end of 61. We see this and are involved in fighting for our lives and that of our families each time we get on this hwy. Friday I am coming through the pass were the 2 young men lost there lives. I hear a roar just as I come even with the 2 crosses. A large truck has passed 3 cars behind me and has to pull in right on m

Should have worded that better, I think that he thinks this is the thread about the fatality yesterday.

Could this be the wreck on hwy 61 n. yesterday afternoon?

I am listening to the sirens now. Praying, please not again!

Run Elvira! Run! She's gonna blow!!!!!!!!!!!!
