I went up PettiJean mountain today

My brother and his lady are visiting from Oh so I took today off and we went up PettiJean to the museum up there and to look around . Anyway I thought I would see if big red could climb up there in 6th gear holding it between 35-40 mph she made it almost to the top egts were 1100* and she started ******* out so I dropped to 5th right about 200 ft from the top . I thought that was pretty dang good.

It never fails, when I go up Petit Jean, I get behind someone in a Dodge that almost wants to stop and think about it before they go up, then putter up at 10mph.

Coming down they want to ride their brakes all the way down.

Thats pretty good to make it nearly to the top in 6th.

Petit Jean is really nice, especially every father's day week, when the annual car show/ swap meet is held.

But if you are wanting some scenery, and feeling energetic, take a hike down to the falls.

Its a pretty nice area for a day trip.
