Yep, no foot on the accelerator. Coming down from Monarch I didn't
need to downshift. Just stayed in 4th (or was it 3rd?) gear. Yah,
some folks passed me (and braked at every curve). Hey, they passed me
on the way up too, not a big deal.

I need to do an extended (no time line) trip. I didn't spend as much
time at the top of Monarch as I would have liked. Same thing about
Glacier. 2 weeks just ain't enough time for driving across the
country (and back), unless that is the ONLY thing you do.
