Almost Gone Around - Having Fun in Colorado

Almost Gone Around


So yesterday I had the most frightening experience of my driving life.  I was taking my time, even though the roads were much better, getting to Alex's house to grab her for work.  She's on a road that is pretty steep with a switchback.  It gets tons of traffic and looked really clear.  On our way down, while going 15 mph and going slowly around a turn in the road, the whole back-end of my car swung around almost sending us into the other lane.  I corrected a bit too much and we almost went off the road into a ditch, after one more correction I had managed to get control again and we made it without incident to the restaurant. I pray that I NEVER have that happen to me again.
