Never ever ever take a forest service road that you have never been on, in a rental car in the winter! What were they thinking?

This happens more than one would expect. This is the first time I have seen a happy ending to one of these stories.

Unless you want to have an adventure! :-)

That the whole country is just like the Northeast. (Except even in the rural Northeast there are logging roads and other unpaved roads.)

Mount Washington in New Hampshire probably kills more people than any other mountain in the U.S. It’s an easy drive for suburbanites and city folks throughout the Northeast, but ascendent by foot can be treacherous, especially when there are unexpected autumn snow storms. There is also the annual cost of searching for lost hikers.

Well, if it doesn't have a giant flashing neon sign proclaiming "FOREST SERVICE ROAD" on it every quarter of a mile, how can you expect the people to know that it's a service road?
