Hairpin Turn

  Back in the late 80's a gasoline tanker on the downhill slope rounded that turn just a little to wide and caught the tank on the rock outcropping rigth there on the corner. Gasoline gushed out and caught fire. The fire destroyed the gift shop on the corner. The fire department responding to the scene was treated to burning gasoline running down the water runnoff culverts and pipes. I was standing in a field in Clarksburg looking up at the Hairpin turn watching buring gasoline spewing out of the storm drain pipe and into the woods. Pretty incredible sight. Sadly the driver was killed.
